Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "If it rains, he (stay) ..... at home" is using a conditional statement with the future simple tense. The correct form for expressing a future action in a conditional clause is "will + base verb". Therefore, the correct answer is A) Will stay.
Option Analysis:
Option A:

Option B:

B) Shall we go/ won't like / will like.
C) Will we go / don't like / will like.

Show Answer
Explanations:
Option B is correct because it uses the future simple tense correctly in all parts of the sentence.
- "Shall we go" is appropriate for making a suggestion about the future.
- "won't like" is the negative form of the future simple tense, indicating a prediction that they will not enjoy the food at Snacks Restaurant.
- "will like" also uses the future simple tense to predict that they will enjoy the new cafe in York Street.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. "Do we go" is for present simple, not future.
Option B:
Correct. Uses future simple tense appropriately.
Option C:
Incorrect. "Will we go" is redundant and "will like" should be negative to match the context.

Incorrect. "Shall we go" is correct, but "don't like" should be "won't like" for future predictions.
3.
I ..... to the party because I am busy.
A) Goes.
B) Will go.
C) Will not go.
D) Went.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "I will not go to the party because I am busy" uses the future simple tense to express a decision that has been made in the present and will continue into the future. The correct answer is
C) Will not go.
This option correctly conveys the future action (going to the party) with its negation (not going), using the future simple tense.
Option Analysis:

"Goes" is in the present simple tense and does not indicate a future decision.
Option B:
"Will go" indicates a positive future action, but it does not match the negation in the sentence.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Uses the Future Simple Tense ("will") correctly.
Option B:
Incorrect. "Visits" is in the Present Simple Tense and does not indicate a future plan.

6.

A) Are having.
B) Will have.
C) Are going to have.
D) Have.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option C) Are going to have is correct because it uses the Future Simple tense, which is used for future events that are planned or intended. The sentence "We are going to a nice campsite in Spain this summer" indicates a plan or intention, and "are going to have" correctly conveys this future action.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. Present Continuous tense is used for actions happening now or near future but not specifically planned events.
Option B:
Incorrect. Future Simple tense is more direct and commonly used for plans, making this the better choice here.
Option C:

7.
She will not like that book.
A) She might not enjoy that book.
B) She will dislike that novel.
C) She will not like the book.
D) She will love that book.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The future simple tense is used to talk about actions that will happen at a specific time in the future, and it can also be used to make predictions or express certainty about what will occur. In this case, "She will not like that book" uses the future simple tense to predict an outcome.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
This option suggests a possibility rather than certainty, using "might," which is not consistent with the certain prediction in the original sentence.
Option B:
While this option uses the future simple tense and mentions dislike, it refers to a novel instead of a book, making it less precise.
Option C:
This option matches both the certainty expressed by "will" and the subject "book," making it the correct choice.
Option D:
This option uses "love," which contradicts the negative prediction in the original sentence.
8.

A) Travel.
B) Traveled.
C) Travels.
D) Will travel.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "Jeff will travel around the world next year" uses the future simple tense, which is formed with "will + base form of verb". Option D correctly uses this structure.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. No auxiliary verb "will" is used.
Option B:
Incorrect. Past tense, not future.
Option C:
Incorrect. Present simple tense, not future.
Option D:
Correct. Future simple tense using "will travel".
9.
We ..... (not) see Ben tomorrow.
A) Not will.
B) Will not.
C) Not.
D) Will.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The future simple tense is used to talk about future events that are certain or planned. In the sentence "We ..... (not) see Ben tomorrow," we need a negative form of the verb "see" in the future simple tense. The correct construction for negation in this tense is "will not." Therefore, the correct answer is
B) Will not.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Not will - This option incorrectly combines words and does not follow proper English syntax for forming a negative future simple tense.
Option B:
Will not - Correct construction for negation in the future simple tense.
Option C:
Not - This is only part of the correct answer, missing the auxiliary verb "will."
Option D:
Will - This option does not include the negative form needed to complete the sentence correctly.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Uses Future Simple Tense ("will" + base verb).
Option B:
Incorrect. Present tense does not indicate future.

A) Won't give up.
B) Will gives up.

12.

A) Will baking.
B) Is baked.
C) Will bake.
D) Will baked.
Show Answer
Explanations:

13.
I think he (not come) back his hometown.
A) Doesn't come.
B) Isn't coming.
C) Won't come.
D) None of the above.
Show Answer

The sentence "I think he (not come) back his hometown" is about a future event that the speaker believes will not happen. The correct answer, C) Won't come, uses the Future Simple Tense with negation to express this idea.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Doesn't come - This is incorrect because "doesn't" is used for Present Simple Tense and doesn't fit the context of a future event.
Option B:
Isn't coming - This is also in Present Continuous form, which is not suitable for expressing a future event that will not happen.
Option C:
Won't come - This correctly uses Future Simple Tense with negation to indicate the speaker's belief about a future event that won't occur.
Option D:
None of the above - Since Option C is correct, this option is incorrect.
14.

A) Would.
B) Be.
C) Will be.
D) Is.
Show Answer
Explanations:

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Would - This indicates a past habitual or conditional action, not a future one.

Be - This alone does not indicate the future tense and is incomplete in this context.

Option Analysis:

18.
What auxiliary verb is used in the future simple tense?
A) Might.
B) Shall.
C) Would.
D) Will.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The future simple tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. For example, "I will go to the store."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Might - This is used for possibility or uncertainty in the present or future, not for forming the simple future tense.
Option B:
Shall - While used in some contexts, it is less common than "will" for forming the simple future tense. It can be used with first-person singular and plural speakers to make offers or promises.
Option C:
Would - This is typically used for conditional sentences or expressing past habits, not for the simple future tense.
Option D:
Will - Correct. Used as an auxiliary verb to form the simple future tense with the base form of the main verb.
19.
A:Will Ann ..... it again?B:Yes, she .....
A) Makes / does.
B) Make / will.
C) Makes / will.
D) Make / does.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option B is correct because it uses the future simple tense correctly in both parts of the sentence. In part A, "Yes, she will" indicates a future action using the auxiliary verb "will." The first part "B: Yes, she will" matches with "A: Will Ann make it again?" where "make" is used as the base form to indicate a future action.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. "Makes" in the present simple tense does not match the future context.
Option B:
Correct. Uses "will" for future and matches with the base form of the verb "make."
Option C:
Incorrect. "Makes" in the present simple tense does not fit the future context.
Option D:
Incorrect. "Make" is correct but "does" should be used to match with "Will Ann make it again?"
20.
It's very hot in here. I ..... the window for you.
A) Open.
B) Am going to open.
C) Am opening.
D) Will open.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "It's very hot in here. I will open the window for you." uses the future simple tense to indicate a planned action that is certain to happen. This makes option D correct as it conveys an immediate intention or plan.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
"Open" is in imperative form, which doesn't fit the context of planning an action for later.
Option B:
"Am going to open" uses the future continuous tense, indicating a temporary or ongoing plan, not a simple future action.
Option C:
"Am opening" is in present continuous form and suggests an action that is happening now, which doesn't fit the context of planning for later.
Option D:
"Will open" correctly uses the future simple tense to indicate a planned or intended action for the near future.
21.
You (join) ..... with them on a picnic last week?
A) Joined.
B) Didn't join.
C) Join.
D) Did you join.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
D) Did you join.
This question uses the future simple tense to inquire about a past action that was planned or intended, which is typically formed with "will" + verb for affirmative statements and "will" + subject + verb for negative statements. However, in questions, we use "will" + subject + auxiliary verb (do, does) + base form of the verb. Here, since it's a question about joining them on a picnic last week, the correct structure is "Did you join."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect as it uses the simple past tense without auxiliary verbs for questions.
Option B:
Incorrect as it denies participation in the action, which doesn't fit the question's intent.
Option C:
Incorrect as it omits "Did" and "you," making it a statement rather than a question.
Option D:
Correct as it uses the appropriate auxiliary verb for forming questions about past actions in future tense scenarios.
22.
When he was young, he ..... with his grandparents.
A) Lived.
B) Will live.
C) Lives.
D) Live.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "When he was young, he lived with his grandparents." uses the past tense to describe an action that occurred in the past. The question asks about a future event, but since the context is set in the past ("when he was young"), we use the simple past tense (lived) to match the time frame.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Past Simple Tense is used here.
Option B:
Incorrect. Future Simple Tense (will live) does not fit the past context.
Option C:
Incorrect. Present Simple Tense (lives) describes a general truth or habit, not a specific past event.
Option D:
Incorrect. Infinitive form (Live) is not a complete tense and does not fit the context of the sentence.
23.
A:We've run out of bread. B:Ok, I ..... buy and get some more.
A) 'll.
B) 'm going to.
C) All the above.
D) None of the above.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option A is correct because "I'll" is a contraction of "I will," which is used to express future actions in the simple future tense. In this context, B is agreeing with A and stating that they are going to buy bread.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. "I'll" is a contraction for "I will," indicating a future action.
Option B:
Incorrect. "I'm going to" is another way to express the simple future tense, but it's not used in this context as B agrees with A and uses a more concise form.
Option C:
Incorrect. Only one of the options (A) is correct.
Option D:
Incorrect. All other options are valid forms of expressing future actions, but not in this specific context.
24.
It's your birthday tomorrow ..... you ..... seventeen?
A) Will you be.
B) Won't you be.
C) All the above.
D) None of the above.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The future simple tense is used to talk about actions that will happen at a specific time in the future. In this sentence, "It's your birthday tomorrow" indicates a future event. The phrase "you ... seventeen?" implies asking if you will be 17 years old on your next birthday. Therefore, using the future simple tense with "will" is correct.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Uses future simple tense with "will".
Option B:
Incorrect. Future simple tense requires "will", not "won't".
Option C:
Incorrect. Only option A is correct.
Option D:
Incorrect. Option A is the only correct answer.
25.
..... your friend going to be at school next year?
A) Are.
B) Am.
C) Is.
D) Am not.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The future simple tense is used to talk about actions that will happen at a specific time in the future. In this sentence, "your friend going to be at school next year" should use "is" as the auxiliary verb because it refers to a single action (being) in the future.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect - "Are" is used for plural subjects and does not fit here.
Option B:
Incorrect - "Am" is used only with first-person singular subjects (I).
Option C:
Correct - "Is" is the right auxiliary verb for third-person singular subjects in the future simple tense.
Option D:
Incorrect - This option negates the sentence, which is not what we are looking for here.
26.
..... snakes reptiles?
A) Is.
B) Are.
C) Does.
D) Do.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "Snakes reptiles?" is a question asking about the nature of snakes, specifically whether they are classified as reptiles. In English grammar, when forming questions with plural subjects like "snakes," we use the verb form "are." Therefore, option B) Are is correct.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Is - Incorrect for plural subject.
Option B:
Are - Correct for plural subject.
Option C:
Does - Used with singular subjects or questions starting with auxiliary verbs.
Option D:
Do - Used with plural subjects in affirmative statements, not questions.
27.

A) Will.
B) Will not be.
C) Is not.
D) Won't.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "It be very sunny again until next summer" is in the present tense and does not correctly express a future event. The correct form for expressing a future event using the Future Simple Tense is to use 'will' or 'won't'. Since the statement suggests that it will *not* be sunny, option D) "Won't" is correct.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect as it uses a form of 'will', which does not fit the context.
Option B:
Incorrect as it suggests the event will occur, which contradicts the statement.
Option C:
Incorrect as it is in present tense and does not indicate future time.
Option D:
Correct as it uses 'won't' to express a negative future prediction.
