Harsh answered |
The time expression 'next year' expresses an action that is to take place in the future so future tense is to be used. But here we can either use Future indefinite tense (i.e.will teach) or Future Continuous (i.e. will be teaching). Most times future indefinite and future continuous are used interchangeably.

Maya Choudhury answered |
Understanding the Correct Answer
When analyzing the sentence "When you come tonight, our group _____________ for our class presentation," the correct answer is option 'D': "will be practicing." Let's break down why this choice fits best.
1. Future Continuous Tense
- The phrase "will be practicing" is in the future continuous tense.
- This tense is used to describe an action that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future.
2. Context of the Sentence
- The word "when" indicates a future event that is contingent on another event (your arrival).
- This implies that the action of practicing will be happening at the time you arrive.
3. Elimination of Other Options
- Option A: "will practiced" - This is grammatically incorrect because "practiced" cannot follow "will" in this form.
- Option B: "will have practiced" - This tense indicates that the action will be completed before another future event, which does not fit the context of ongoing practice.
- Option C: "will practicing" - This is incorrect as it does not follow the proper future tense structure.
4. Conclusion
- Therefore, "will be practicing" effectively communicates that the group will be engaged in the practice session at the time of your arrival.
- This makes option 'D' the most appropriate choice for the sentence structure and intended meaning.

Helen and her family ____________ (sunbathe) on the beach tomorrow morning.Correct answer is 'will be sunbathing'. Can you explain this answer?
Helen and her family ____________ (sunbathe) on the beach tomorrow morning.
|
EduRev GMAT answered |
Explanation:
To form the future continuous tense, we use the auxiliary verb "will" plus the base form of the verb "be" (which changes according to the subject) and the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb.
In this case, we have the subject "Helen and her family" and the verb "sunbathe." So, we need to use the future continuous tense to express an action that will be happening in the future.
Answer:
Helen and her family will be sunbathing on the beach tomorrow morning.
Here is a breakdown of the solution:
- Subject: Helen and her family
- Verb: sunbathe
- Tense: future continuous
- Conjugation: will + be + present participle (sunbathing)

Amrita Kapoor answered |
Answer:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In the given sentence, the subject "Tina" is followed by the verb "weed." However, the verb tense is not suitable for the sentence as it uses the base form of the verb instead of the future tense.
Future Tense:
To indicate an action that will happen in the future, we need to use the future tense. In English grammar, the future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct verb form to use in this sentence is "will be weeding."
Explanation:
- In the given sentence, "Tina" is the subject and "weed" is the verb.
- Since the action of weeding is scheduled to take place in the future, the base form of the verb "weed" needs to be changed to the future tense.
- The correct future tense form of the verb "weed" is "will be weeding."
- The auxiliary verb "will" indicates the future tense and is followed by the base form of the verb "be."
- The present participle form of the verb "weed" is "weeding," which is used after the auxiliary verb "be" to form the correct future tense.
- Therefore, the correct sentence is "Tina will be weeding in the garden at 5.30 p.m. tomorrow evening."
Summary:
To maintain subject-verb agreement and indicate an action that will happen in the future, the correct verb form in the given sentence is "will be weeding." This form uses the future tense, with "will" as the auxiliary verb and "be weeding" as the verb phrase.

- This option uses the correct future tense form "will be studying" which is appropriate for an ongoing action in the future. This is the correct answer. B:

|

EduRev GMAT answered |
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the sentence structure and understand the appropriate verb tense to use.
The sentence states that the action of writing essays will occur throughout the entire semester, implying a future action. Therefore, we need to use the future tense.
The correct answer is option D:
will be writing
Explanation:
1. Subject: The subject of the sentence is "we," which refers to a group of people who are going to write essays.
2. Verb tense: Since the action is going to happen in the future, we need to use the future tense.
3. Verb: The verb "write" needs to be in the future tense, which is "will write." However, since the action is ongoing and will continue throughout the semester, we use the future continuous tense.
4. Correct answer: "will be writing" is the correct verb form to use in this sentence. It indicates that the action of writing essays will be ongoing and continuous throughout the semester.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "We will be writing essays all semester for English. It is going to be a lot of work."

Answer:
Explanation:
The correct answer is option A: "will be flying". Here's why:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
- The subject of the sentence is "A colony of bats".
- The correct verb form to agree with the subject is "will be flying".
- Option B: "could be flying" - This is not the correct answer because "could" implies a possibility, but the sentence suggests a definite action.
- Option C: "can be flying" - This is not the correct answer because "can" suggests an ability, but the sentence suggests a definite action.
- Option D: "may be flying" - This is not the correct answer because "may" suggests a possibility, but the sentence suggests a definite action.
Time and Tense:
- The sentence states that the bats will fly out of the cave at 6 p.m. this evening.
- The future tense "will be flying" is the appropriate verb form to indicate a planned action that will occur in the future.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: "will be flying".

In this question, we are required to choose the correct form of the verb "repair" to complete the sentence correctly. Let's analyze each option:
- Option A: will be repairingThis option uses the future continuous tense, which is appropriate for indicating an action that will be ongoing in the future. This option is correct.
- Option B: can be repairingThis option uses the modal verb "can," which indicates ability or possibility. However, it does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence. This option is incorrect.
- Option C: may be repairingThis option uses the modal verb "may," which indicates possibility or permission. While it is grammatically correct, it does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence. This option is incorrect.
- Option D: could be repairingThis option uses the modal verb "could," which indicates past ability or possibility. It does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence. This option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: will be repairing.
Overall, it is important to carefully analyze the different verb forms and their meanings in order to choose the correct one in a given context. In this case, the future continuous tense best conveys the idea that the workmen will be repairing the bridge for the entire duration of the next week.

Explanation:
To explain why the correct answer is "will be doing," we need to understand the context and the grammar rules involved.
Context: The speaker doesn't know what the people will be doing when they get there. It suggests a future action that will be taking place at a specific point in time.
Grammar rules: In English, we often use the future continuous tense (will be + verb-ing) to describe actions that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.
Now let's break down the answer into headings and HTML bullet points:
- The speaker doesn't know what they will be doing.
- The verb should be in the future continuous tense.
- The future continuous tense is formed by using "will be" followed by the base form of the verb + "ing."
- In this sentence, the verb "do" needs to be in the future continuous tense.
- Therefore, the correct answer is "will be doing."
By using the future continuous tense, we indicate that the action will be ongoing or in progress at the time specified (when we get there). This tense is commonly used when talking about future plans or actions.

Amit Kumar answered |
The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected length of time. It is formed using the construction will/shall + be + the present participle (the root verb + -ing).

EduRev GMAT answered |
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and their suitability in the given context:
A:
will you done
- This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "will you have done" to express completion by a specific time.
B:
will you be doing
- This option is the most appropriate choice. "Will you be doing" implies an ongoing action at a specific time in the future, which aligns with the given context of "this afternoon at 3PM."
C:
will you have done
- This option implies completion by a specific time, but it does not convey the ongoing nature of the action at 3PM. Therefore, it is not the most suitable choice in this context.
D:
will you doing
- This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "will you be doing" to express an ongoing action in the future.
Based on the analysis above, option B, "will you be doing," is the correct answer as it accurately conveys the ongoing action at 3PM this afternoon.

Explanation:
The sentence is in the future tense, indicating that the action of the bats flying out of the cave will occur in the future. In English grammar, we use the future continuous tense to describe an action that will be happening at a specific time in the future.
Key Points:
- The future continuous tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by "be" and the present participle form of the main verb.
- In this sentence, the main verb is "fly" and its present participle form is "flying."
- The bats will be flying out of the cave at 6 p.m. this evening, indicating that the action will be ongoing at that specific time.
- The use of the future continuous tense suggests that the speaker has prior knowledge or expectation of the bats' behavior.
- It is important to note that the future continuous tense is used for actions that are planned or arranged in advance.
Therefore, the correct answer is "will be flying" to indicate that a colony of bats will be in the process of flying out of the cave at 6 p.m. this evening.

The stewardesses _________ (serve) lunch to the passengers soon.Correct answer is 'will be serving'. Can you explain this answer?
The stewardesses _________ (serve) lunch to the passengers soon.
|

EduRev GMAT answered |
To form the correct sentence, we need to use the future tense as the action of serving lunch to the passengers is going to happen in the future. In this case, we should use the future continuous tense.
Explanation:
To explain the solution in detail, we can break it down into the following points:
- The given sentence is in the present continuous tense, which indicates an action happening at the current moment.
- However, the sentence states that the stewardesses will serve lunch to the passengers soon, which implies a future action.
- To express a future action that will be happening continuously, we need to use the future continuous tense.
- The future continuous tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "will" + "be" + present participle ("-ing" form of the verb).
- In this case, the verb "serve" should be in its present participle form, which is "serving."
- Therefore, the correct form of the verb "serve" in the given sentence is "will be serving."
- The corrected sentence should be: "The stewardesses will be serving lunch to the passengers soon."
