Question

Fill in the blank with the correct form of future tense of the verb given in the bracket.
If you study hard you __________ (get) a first class.
A) Will get
B) Will have gotten
C) Get
D) Getting

Answer 1

Hint: Future tense is a verb tense which is used for future activity or the future state of being. Future tense also explained that an activity or action has not happened yet but expected to happen in the future. For example: She will jump in the river.

Complete answer:
Option A) Will get – is the correct answer because ‘will’ is used for the future tense. So, ‘will get’ suits best in the blank. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
Option B) Will have gotten – is an incorrect answer because ‘gotten’ is the past participle form of the verb. Get is the present tense form of the verb and got is the past tense. However, we need our answer in the future tense, so, we will exclude this option as this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Get – is an incorrect answer because ‘get’ is the present tense of the verb. To fill the blank correctly, we have to use future tense instead of simple tense. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Getting – is an incorrect answer because ‘getting’ is the present continuous tense. We need future tense to fill the blank instead of present continuous tense. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is ‘A’.

Note: Tenses basically expresses time reference. Tenses come in three main forms: Past tense. Present tense and future tense. Past tense describes an action that has completed. Present tense explains an ongoing action or activity and future tense explains the future activity that is yet to happen.
