What __________ when you finish your degree?
Answer:
are you going to do
**Rule:** The 'be going to' future is used to ask about someone's future plans and intentions. The question is asking about the person's plans after they graduate. Option (d) is also used for plans, but 'be going to' is very common for asking about intentions after a significant life event.
65892
When the summer __________, we will go to the beach every day.
Answer:
comes
**Rule:** In a future time clause starting with 'when', the Simple Present Tense is used to refer to the future event. The main clause uses the future tense ('we will go'). Using 'will' in the time clause is a common grammatical error. So, 'comes' is the correct form.
65893
As soon as I __________ my exam results, I will let you know.
Answer:
get
**Rule:** In a future time clause beginning with a conjunction like 'as soon as', the Simple Present Tense is used to refer to the future action. The main clause ('I will let you know') uses a future tense, but the time clause must use the simple present. Using 'will' in the time clause is a common error.

This summer, they __________ their house for three months while they travel.
Answer:
will be renting out
**Rule:** The Future Continuous Tense (will be + verb-ing) is used to talk about a planned action that will be ongoing for a period in the future. The action of 'renting out' will continue for the duration of their three-month trip. Option (d) is also possible for plans, but (b) emphasizes the temporary, ongoing nature of the arrangement.
65895
Once the storm __________, it will be safe to go outside.
Answer:
has passed
**Rule:** In future time clauses (with 'once', 'when', 'after'), we can use the Present Perfect Tense ('has/have' + past participle) to emphasize that the first action must be complete before the second action begins. 'has passed' stresses the completion of the storm. Option (b) 'passes' (Simple Present) is also correct and very common, but (d) adds emphasis on completion.
65896
If it __________, we will have to cancel the picnic.
Answer:
rains
**Rule:** This is a First Conditional sentence. The 'if' clause, which states the condition, must use the Simple Present Tense to refer to a future possibility. The main clause uses the future tense ('will have to cancel'). Using 'will' in the 'if' clause is a common grammatical error. Option (d) is for the second conditional (unreal situations).
65897
In June, my grandparents __________ married for fifty years.
Answer:
will have been
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to mark the completion of an action or the duration of a state up to a certain point in the future. 'For fifty years' emphasizes the duration that will be completed in the future month of June. Therefore, 'will have been' is correct. Option (b) doesn't convey the sense of duration.
65898
The results of the election __________ announced on Friday evening.
Answer:
will be announced
**Rule:** This sentence requires the Future Simple Passive voice ('will be' + past participle) because the subject ('results') receives the action. This is the standard way to talk about formal, planned future events where the agent is unknown or unimportant. Option (a) is active voice. Option (d) is also active and grammatically incorrect as the results cannot announce themselves.
65899
The agenda has been set. We __________ the budget first at tomorrow's meeting.
Answer:
are going to discuss
**Rule:** Both 'be going to' and the present continuous ('are discussing', option d) are used for definite future plans and arrangements. Since 'the agenda has been set', it's a firm plan. 'Are going to discuss' correctly reflects this planned action. Option (d) is also a valid and common alternative. Option (b) is for timetables. Option (c) is future perfect.
65900
When you __________ older, you will understand my decision.
Answer:
are
**Rule:** In future time clauses that start with conjunctions like 'when', the Simple Present Tense is used to refer to the future. The main clause ('you will understand') is in the future tense, but the time clause must use the present tense ('When you are older'). Option (a) 'will be' is a common error in this structure.
