Answer 1

Hint: The student should go through questions carefully to understand what is to be done. The options of the question should be analyzed to understand what each option means, and what the difference in each is.

Complete answer:
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'am going to clean it tomorrow', refers to ‘present continuous tense’. Therefore, option (a.) is correct as the given blank indicates something about to happen (cleaning of the car) and thus we are to use the present continuous tense.
Option (b.), ‘has gone to clean it tomorrow', refers to ‘future tense’.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as the given blank indicates something about to happen (cleaning of the car) and thus we are to use the present continuous tense.
Option (c.), ‘went to clean it tomorrow', refers to ‘past tense’.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as the given blank indicates something about to happen (cleaning of the car) and thus we are to use the present continuous tense.
Option (d.), ‘Have gone to clean it tomorrow', refers to ‘present perfect tense’.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as the given blank indicates something about to happen (cleaning of the car) and thus we are to use the present continuous tense.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of tense. Tense is a grammatical category of verbs used to express distinctions of time. There are three tenses - past, present, and future.
