As soon as the technician __________, we can get the internet fixed.
**Rule:** In a future time clause beginning with 'as soon as', the Simple Present Tense is used to refer to the future action. The main clause uses a modal ('we can get'). Using 'will' in the time clause is a common error. Option (d) 'has arrived' is also possible to emphasize completion, but simple present is the most common form.

He __________ on that novel for three years by the time he finishes it.
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Continuous Tense (will have been + verb-ing) is used to emphasize the duration ('for three years') of an action leading up to its completion in the future ('by the time he finishes it'). It focuses on the long, continuous creative process.
3123
The gardeners __________ all the leaves before the festival begins.
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to express that an action will be completed before another future event. The action of clearing the leaves will be finished by the time the festival starts. Option (a) implies the action will be in progress.

3125
If you don't hurry, you __________ the special offer.
**Rule:** This is a First Conditional sentence ('if' + simple present, ... 'will' + base verb) warning of a likely future consequence. The main clause correctly uses 'will miss' to state the result of not hurrying. Option (b) is for hypothetical situations. Options (a) and (c) are incorrect.

The government has announced that it __________ pensions next year.
**Rule:** The Present Continuous Tense ('is/are' + verb-ing) is often used for official plans and arrangements that have been announced for the future. It implies a firm plan. 'is going to increase' would also be correct. Option (c) is also possible but present continuous is very common for announced plans.
3127
The teacher __________ the classroom until all the students have left.
**Rule:** This sentence contains a future time clause ('until all the students have left'). The main clause must be in a future tense to describe the action. 'will not leave' correctly states the teacher's intention or the expected sequence of events. The time clause correctly uses the present perfect ('have left') to emphasize completion.

This cake is delicious! I __________ the recipe from you.
**Rule:** The Simple Future with 'will' is used for a spontaneous decision. Upon tasting the cake, the speaker immediately decides they want the recipe. It is not a prior plan. Option (d) would imply they had already intended to ask for the recipe before tasting it. Options (a) and (c) are incorrect.
3129

**Rule:** The 'be going to' future is used to make a prediction based on a present trend or evidence. 'The way the company is losing money' is the current trend that leads to the logical prediction of bankruptcy. Option (a) is a more general prediction, less tied to the immediate evidence.
