did you?

haven’t you?

have you?

No substitution required

- The sentence is in the present perfect tense: "have learnt."

- Question tags usually mirror the auxiliary verb and subject of the main sentence.

- The main sentence uses "have" as the auxiliary verb, suggesting the tag should too.

- Option 1: "did you?" is incorrect because "did" isn't used in present perfect tense.

- Option 2: "haven't you?" matches the structure (present perfect) and is appropriate for a positive statement.

- Option 3: "have you?" is incorrect because it doesn’t fit the positive-negative pattern of tag questions.

- Option 4: "No substitution required" is incorrect due to the mismatch in tense form.

Option 2: "haven't you?"
