SSC MTS - 05/11/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • English • Q76

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in future continuous tense form.
Shall I meet you soon?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Shall I be meeting you soon?

Error concept: Incorrect tense conversion.

What is wrong: The original sentence “Shall I meet you soon?” is in simple future tense. To convert it into future continuous tense, the auxiliary verb and main verb form need adjustment.

Grammatical concept: Future continuous tense is formed using “will/shall + be + verb-ing.”

Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using just “Shall I meet” keeps it in simple future, not continuous.

How to correct: Use “Shall I be meeting” to indicate an action in progress at a future time.

Correct phrase/ correction: Shall I be meeting you soon?

Final sentence: Shall I be meeting you soon?

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
