**Rule:** The Future Continuous Tense (will be + verb-ing) is used to say that an action will be in progress at a specific time in the future. The time '10 o'clock tomorrow' is when the meeting will be happening. Option (b) means the meeting will be over by 10. Option (a) is incorrect. Option (d) is grammatically incorrect.

I'm freezing! __________ I close the window?

Shall
**Rule:** 'Shall' is used with 'I' and 'we' in interrogative sentences to make an offer or a suggestion, or to ask for advice. 'Shall I close the window?' is a classic example of offering to do something. Option (a) 'Will' would be used to ask for a prediction (e.g., Will I feel warmer?), not to make an offer. Options (b) and (c) are incorrect.

I can't meet you at 3 PM because I __________ a meeting with my manager.
Answer:
will be having
**Rule:** The Future Continuous Tense (will be + verb-ing) is used to describe an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. At 3 PM, the meeting will be ongoing. This is a common way to explain why one is unavailable. Option (a) 'will have' is a simple future statement but less specific about the ongoing nature of the event. Option (c) 'have' is simple present. Option (d) 'will have had' (Future Perfect) implies the meeting will be over by 3 PM, which contradicts the sentence's meaning.

Answer:

**Rule:** The Future Perfect Passive voice (will have been + past participle) is required. The 'report' is the object of the action. The action of finalizing will be completed by a specific future deadline ('by the end of the fiscal year'). Option (c) is active voice. Options (a) and (d) are incorrect.
81135

Answer:
Shall
**Rule:** 'Shall' is used with 'I' and 'we' in questions to make an offer or suggestion. 'Shall I get it?' is a polite offer to answer the phone. Option (a) 'Will' is used for predictions or decisions, not typically for offers in this form. Options (b) and (c) are grammatically incorrect for this purpose.

We're a bit late. The film __________ by the time we get to the cinema.
Answer:
will have started
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to express an action that will be completed before another event in the future. The speaker predicts that the action of starting the film will be finished before they arrive. Option (a) is a simple prediction. Option (b) implies the film will be in the process of starting when they arrive. Option (c) is for scheduled times, but here the focus is on completion before arrival.
81137
Don't be late for the movie; it __________ before we arrive.
Answer:
will have started
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to warn that an action will be completed before another future event happens. The warning is that the movie's start will be a completed event before their arrival if they are late. Option (c) would mean it's in the process of starting, which is less of a warning about missing the beginning.

This old car __________ down soon if we don't get it serviced.
Answer:
is going to break
**Rule:** 'Be going to' is used for predictions based on present evidence. The fact that the car is 'old' and needs service is the evidence that it is likely to break down. This is a logical conclusion from the current state of the car. Option (c) is future perfect. Options (a) and (d) are incorrect.
