Answer 1

Hint: Read the question properly. Analyze the tense form of the sentence. Search for hint words in the sentence to find the tense form. Analyzing the sentence properly is the only solution to find out the right option.

Complete answer:
The given sentence is definitely an example for future tense as it has the word ‘will’ in the sentence. But the challenge in the given question is to identify which form of future tense it is.

Option A) Present perfect tense – is an incorrect answer as it denotes something which has started to happen in the past and is continuing in the present. It is evident that the sentence is in future tense form.

Option B) Future perfect tense – is the right and the most appropriate answer as future perfect tense indicates an event that will have been completed in some point of time.

Option C) Future continuous tense – is an incorrect answer. Even though there’s a ‘will’ in the sentence which denotes future tense form, future continuous tense is not the right answer as it denotes an ongoing event which will continue in the future too.

Option D) Future perfect continuous tense - is an incorrect answer. Even though there’s a ‘will’ in the sentence which denotes future tense form, future perfect continuous tense is not the right answer as it denotes an event that will be completed within a specified time in the future.

Hence option ‘B’ is the correct answer.

Note: There are different types of tenses. Tenses denote the time or period of a happened, happening or will be happening event. The three types of tenses are: past, present and future tense. Future tense indicates an event which is to happen. Future tense can be of four types: simple future tense, future continuous tense, future perfect tense and future perfect continuous tense.
