Key Points

  • The mentioned sentence isn’t correct because the question tag used with the sentence is wrong.
  • Negative question tags are used with positive or affirmative sentences while positive question tags are used with negative sentences
  • So, for ‘have they?’ to be the correct question tag, the sentence should be- ‘The children haven’t completed their homework, have they?’.
  • But since the sentence is affirmative the question to follow it should be negative.
    • Example: Your sister lives in Spain, doesn't she?
       

Thus the correct sentence is: ‘The children have completed their homework, haven’t they?’.
