Question

Complete the sentence with the correct form of the word given in brackets:
The principal _________ (distribute) the annual prizes tomorrow.

Answer 1

Hint: The sentence already tells us the tense to be used. Look for pointers suggesting which tense to use. The actions are to be completed in the given sentence. These pointers are indicators of certain tenses.

Complete answer:
 The sentence is very clear. The word ‘tomorrow’ is used in the sentence. This means that the action has not happened yet. So, to convey that an action has not happened yet, we need to use Simple Future Tense.
The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb].

The simple future is used-
-To predict a future event
-To express willingness
-To express unwillingness
-To make an offer
-To make a suggestion
-To ask for advice or instructions
-To give orders
-To give an invitation

In the given sentence, the principal has not performed the action yet, he will do so tomorrow. It is stated like a fact in the given sentence, so, we must use the future tense.
The word ‘distribute’ refers to ‘give a share or a unit of (something) to each of a number of recipients’ or ‘occur throughout an area’. This is an example of a regular verb. So, the future tense of this verb will be constructed by adding ‘will’ before it. So, the future tense form of the verb ‘distribute’ is ‘will distribute’.
Now, we know the exact answer. So, the given sentence will be written in the following
way-
The principal will distribute the annual prizes tomorrow. This is the required answer.

Note:
 Choose the most appropriate answer given the context of the sentence. Make sure all the forms of the verb are aligning with each other and work with each other perfectly.
