Tenses Test: Future Tense Quiz Questions - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    My mom ________ some cookies for us later.        (make)

    • Will make

    • Might make

    • Has made

    • Baked

    Correct Answer
    A. Will make
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will make" because the sentence is talking about a future action that is planned or intended to happen. "Will" is used to indicate future tense, and "make" is the base form of the verb. This construction shows that the speaker's mom has plans or intentions to make cookies later, making "will make" the accurate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    We ________ pictures in a few minutes. (take)

    • Will took

    • Will take

    • Took

    • Will taken

    Correct Answer
    A. Will take
    Explanation
    The sentence describes a future event, and the verb should be in the future tense to maintain proper tense. "Will take" is the future tense of "take". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the tense of the sentence. "Took" is the past tense of "take", and "will took" and "will taken" are grammatically incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Jane ________ to the party as well. (come)

    • Is going to come

    • Came

    • Has come

    • Had came

    Correct Answer
    A. Is going to come
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is going to come." This is because the sentence is in the present tense and indicates a future action. "Is going to" is used to talk about future plans or intentions. Therefore, it suggests that Jane has a plan or intention to come to the party. This construction accurately conveys the intended future participation of Jane at the party.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Our team ________ the game. (win)

    • Is going to win

    • Had won

    • Won

    • Has won

    Correct Answer
    A. Is going to win
    Explanation
    The sentence describes a future event, and the verb should be in the future tense to maintain proper tense. "Is going to win" is the future tense of "win". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the tense of the sentence. "Had won" is past perfect tense, "won" is past tense, and "has won" is present perfect tense. "Is going to win" accurately conveys the intended future success.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    You ________ my friends next week. (meet)

    • Will meet

    • Met

    • Will be meet

    • Have been meeting

    Correct Answer
    A. Will meet
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will meet" because it indicates a future action. The word "will" is used to express future tense, and "meet" is the base form of the verb that agrees with the subject "you". Therefore, "will meet" correctly conveys the idea that the speaker has arranged or planned for you to meet their friends in the upcoming week, emphasizing the future action.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The office ________ you an email on Monday. (send)

    • Will send

    • Had send 

    • Has sent

    • Will be send

    Correct Answer
    A. Will send
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will send" because the sentence is in the future tense and the word "will" is used to indicate future actions. Therefore, the office will send an email on Monday. The use of "will" signifies a planned action that is expected to happen in the future, making "will send" the appropriate choice for conveying the intended meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    I ________ some new clothes this week. (get)

    • Got

    • Will get

    • Had got

    • Will be getting

    Correct Answer
    A. Will get
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will get" because the sentence is in the future tense and indicates a future action of getting new clothes. The use of "will" suggests that the action will happen at some point in the future. "Will get" accurately conveys the speaker's plan or intention to obtain new clothes within the specified timeframe of this week.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Joe and Lance ________ a report. (write)

    • Will writing 

    • Is writing

    • Are going to write

    • Had written

    Correct Answer
    A. Are going to write
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are going to write" because it indicates a future action that Joe and Lance will perform together. The phrase "are going to" is used to express intentions or plans for the future, and "write" is the correct verb form to match the subject "Joe and Lance." This construction shows that they have plans or intentions to write a report.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the function of "going to" in the sentence "She is going to start her own business"?

    • Expressing a spontaneous decision.

    • Indicating an intention or plan.

    • Talking about a past event.

    • Describing a condition.

    Correct Answer
    A. Indicating an intention or plan.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Indicating an intention or plan." The phrase "going to" is used to express plans or intentions that have already been made before speaking. In this sentence, the speaker is conveying that "she" has a plan to start her own business. "Expressing a spontaneous decision" is incorrect because that would require "will" instead of "going to." The other options do not align with the structure or intent of the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    They ________ the movie with us. (see)

    • Are going to see

    • Saw

    • Will be seeing

    • Had seen

    Correct Answer
    A. Are going to see
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are going to see". This is because the phrase "are going to" indicates a future action, suggesting that they have plans to see the movie in the future. The present continuous tense is used to express future arrangements or plans. Therefore, "are going to see" accurately reflects the intention and arrangement for them to watch the movie with us.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The bus ________ at 3:00 p.m. (leave)

    • Is going to leave

    • Had leaving

    • Leaving

    • Will left

    Correct Answer
    A. Is going to leave
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is going to leave." This is because the sentence is referring to a future event, the bus leaving at 3:00 p.m. The phrase "is going to" is used to express planned actions or intentions in the near future. It indicates that the leaving of the bus is a scheduled or arranged event, making "is going to leave" the appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    What is the correct sentence to express a decision made at the moment?

    • I am going to help you tomorrow.

    • I will help you with this now.

    • I help you right away.

    • I helped you immediately.

    Correct Answer
    A. I will help you with this now.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I will help you with this now." The simple future tense is often used to express spontaneous decisions made at the moment of speaking. Here, the auxiliary verb "will" shows an immediate decision, fitting the situation perfectly. Other options are incorrect because "am going to" suggests a prior plan, "help you right away" is present tense and doesn't fit the context, and "helped" is past tense. Understanding these distinctions can greatly improve your ability to use future tenses appropriately.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Jim ________ some flowers on the way home.  (buy)

    • Is going to buy

    • Buying

    • Bought

    • Buy

    Correct Answer
    A. Bought
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "bought" because the sentence refers to a completed action in the past. "Jim bought some flowers on the way home" uses the simple past tense of the verb "buy." Other options like "is going to buy" refer to future events, "buying" is a present participle, and "buy" is the base form. Only "bought" correctly matches the past time implied by the phrase "on the way home."

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Which sentence shows an action that is certain to happen?

    • He will definitely win the race.

    • He is going to probably win the race.

    • He wins the race definitely.

    • He might win the race.

    Correct Answer
    A. He will definitely win the race.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He will definitely win the race." This sentence uses the modal verb "will" to indicate certainty, while "definitely" reinforces the surety of the statement. "He is going to probably win the race" is incorrect because "probably" indicates doubt. "He wins the race definitely" is grammatically incorrect due to word order, and "he might win the race" indicates possibility rather than certainty. Understanding modal verbs and their adverbs is crucial for expressing levels of certainty in future events.
