Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:
I choose to ride my horse tomorrow morning.
a) To have ridden
b) To have ride
c) To have been riding
d) No change

Answer 1

Hint: The future tense is a verb tense that expresses actions or states in the future. For example- ‘She will go to the movies tomorrow.” is a sentence in the future tense.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to select the option that puts the sentence in the simple future tense, as ‘tomorrow morning’ suggests that the action is to be carried out in the future and not in the past or present.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'to have ridden', refers to past perfect tense. Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as we need the verb form in the future tense.
Option (b.), ‘to have ride', refers to a grammatically incorrect verb form. Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect.
Option (c.), ‘to have been riding', refers to a verb form in the present perfect continuous tense. Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as we need the verb form in the future tense.
Option (d.), ‘NO CHANGE', implies that the sentence is correct as it is. Therefore, option (d.) is correct as the sentence uses ‘to ride’ which is a verb form in the future tense.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the students to recall the concept of tenses. Tense is a grammatical category of verbs used to express distinctions of time. Apart from the future tense, there is a past and present tense too.
