Read the following sentence and select its future tense form from the options given below:
Sarah and Fidha entered into an agreement to share the resources that are currently accessible.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Sarah and Fidha will enter into an agreement to share the resources that are currently accessible
Error concept: Verb tense mismatch with the requirement of future tense.
What is wrong: The original sentence uses the past tense verb “entered,” which does not express a future action.
Grammatical concept:
-
Future tense is formed with will/shall + base verb.
-
Here, “will enter” correctly expresses a future action.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Options 1, 2, and 3 either shift the tense to present progressive, past perfect, or passive past, none of which indicate future tense.
How to correct: Replace “entered” with will enter to indicate a future action.
Correct phrase/ correction: will enter
Final sentence: Sarah and Fidha will enter into an agreement to share the resources that are currently accessible.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
