Question

Fill in the blanks using the most appropriate future tense forms:
Where _____ you _____ this evening- to Nirula's or McDonald's?

a)Do, go
b)Are , going
c)Will, go
d)Shall, go

Answer 1

Hint: Since the question asks for future tense forms, begin by eliminating the options which are not in the future tense.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 The future tense is used when the action is yet to happen in the near future. Using the hint above, we can remove option 'a' and 'b' immediately as option 'a' is in present indefinite tense, and option 'b' is in the present continuous tense.

Left with two options, we are confirmed that the second blank will be filled by 'go' and for the first blank, we go by the traditional rule, it says that 'shall' is used with first-person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while 'will'l is used with second and third-person forms (i.e. you, he, she, it, they).
With this analysis we derive that option c is the correct answer to our question as 'shall' is grammatically incorrect.

Note: Option b and option c are both grammatically correct and a lot of students commit this mistake of not reading the question (which asks for blanks to be filled with Future tense) carefully and jumping on to the incorrect alternative.
