Choose the correct future form to complete the sentence: She _____ visit her grandparents tomorrow.
will visit
is going to visit
is visiting
visits
We use "going to" for planned future actions when a decision is already made. In this sentence, visiting grandparents is a plan, so "is going to visit" is correct. The simple present "visits" doesn't express future intention, and "will visit" is more spontaneous. For more details, see British Council on will vs going to.
Choose the correct future form: I _____ finish this report by 5 PM.
will finish
am going to finish
finish
am finishing
Use "will" to express a future promise or determination. Saying "I will finish" indicates a commitment to complete the report by a specific time. "Am going to finish" is also possible but is used more for premeditated plans. For more comparison, visit Grammarly: Will vs. Going to.
Choose the correct future form: We _____ to London next week.
are traveling
will travel
travel
are going to travel
"Going to" is used for planned future actions. Since a trip to London is planned for next week, "are going to travel" is the best choice. "Are traveling" (present continuous) could work but often emphasizes arrangements rather than plans. See more at EF English Live.
Choose the correct future form: My friend _____ cook dinner tonight.
is cooking
is going to cook
will cook
cooks
For a plan or intention already decided, English uses "going to". Here, cooking dinner is likely arranged in advance, so "is going to cook" is correct. "Will cook" often implies a spontaneous decision. For more, check Perfect English Grammar.
Fill in the blanks: What _____ you _____ after school today?
are going to, do
do, do
will, do
are, doing
Present continuous ("are doing") is used for definite arrangements in the near future. "What are you doing after school today?" is the natural phrasing for plans. "Will do" would be used for a decision made at the moment of speaking. For more on present continuous for future, see EF English Live.
Choose the correct negative future form: He _____ attend the conference next month.
isn't going to attend
won't attending
doesn't attend
won't attend
To express a planned future action that will not happen, use "isn't going to". "Isn't going to attend" correctly negates a planned event. "Won't attend" is acceptable but suggests a more spontaneous decision. See details at British Council: Negative Future Forms.
Choose the correct future question: _____ they _____ dinner together?
Have they going to have
Do they have
Will they have
Are they going to have
For asking about planned future events, use "Are they going to have dinner?" This structure combines the present continuous auxiliary with "going to" for planned actions. "Will they have" is less common for plans. More examples can be found at Grammarly: Questions with Going to.
By this time tomorrow, I _____ my final exam.
will have taken
am taking
will be taking
will take
The future continuous ("will be taking") indicates an action in progress at a specific future time. At this time tomorrow, the exam will be in progress. "Will have taken" is future perfect and suggests completion before that time. Read more at Perfect English Grammar.
Complete the sentence with the future perfect: She _____ completed the project by next Friday.
will complete
is going to complete
will have been completing
will have completed
The future perfect tense ("will have completed") shows that an action will be finished before a specified future time. By next Friday, her project will already be complete. "Will complete" does not emphasize completion before that point. Further reading at British Council: Future Perfect.
Choose the correct simple present form used for a scheduled event: Our flight _____ at 8:00 AM on Saturday.
departs
is going to depart
is departing
will depart
The simple present is often used for timetabled or scheduled events. "Departs" is correct for a flight schedule. Although "will depart" or "is departing" can be used, the simple present is preferred for formal timetables. See EF English Live.
Choose the correct form in a time clause: When she ____ home, she will call you.
is getting
will get
gets
has been getting
In time clauses (when, as soon as), use present simple for future meaning. "Gets home" is correct. You do not use "will" after "when." For further explanation, see Grammarly: Future Time Clauses.
They say it _____ rain tomorrow.
is going to rain
rains
is raining
will rain
After expressions like "They say," we typically use "will" for predictions. "Will rain" conveys a forecast based on hearsay. "Is going to rain" suggests present evidence (dark clouds). Learn more at British Council: Predictions.
By the time you arrive, we ____ dinner.
will have finished
will finish
will be finishing
have finished
The future perfect ("will have finished") describes an action completed before another future moment. By your arrival, dinner will already be done. "Will be finishing" implies ongoing action. Details at Perfect English Grammar.
This time next week, she ____ on a beach in Hawaii.
is going to lie
will lie
will be lying
lies
Future continuous ("will be lying") indicates an action in progress at a specific future time. Next week, she will be in the middle of relaxing on the beach. The simple future or present simple do not emphasize the ongoing nature. See Grammarly: Future Continuous.
I'm thirsty. I _____ a glass of water.
will get
get
am getting
am going to get
When making an immediate decision at the moment of speaking, we use "will." "I will get a glass of water" shows a spontaneous choice. "Am going to get" suggests a premeditated plan. For more, visit EF English Live.
Look at those clouds. It ____ rain.
rains
is raining
is going to rain
will rain
When there is present evidence (dark clouds), English uses "going to" for predictions. "It is going to rain" reflects the visible sign. "Will rain" is used for predictions without immediate evidence. See more at British Council: Predictions.
By December, I _____ working here for five years.
will have been working
will have worked
am going to work
will work
The future perfect continuous ("will have been working") emphasizes the duration of an action up to a specific future time. By December, the five-year period will be complete. "Will have worked" doesn't highlight the ongoing nature. More on this at Grammarly: Future Perfect Continuous.
When she _____ the report, she will send it to you.
finishes
is finishing
will finish
has finished
In time clauses introduced by "when," the present simple is used for a future action. "When she finishes the report" correctly sets the sequence of events. Using "has finished" is possible but less common in this structure. For further guidance, see British Council: Future Time Clauses.

Cheat Sheet
Using "will" for instant decisions and promises -
"Will" often expresses spontaneous decisions or promises at the moment of speaking. For example, "I'll send you the report tonight" shows an immediate commitment (Cambridge University). A handy mnemonic is W.I.L.L = Wishes, Instant decisions, Logical conclusions, Long”term predictions.
"Going to" for planned actions and evidence-based predictions -
Use "going to" when you've already decided on an action or see clear signs something will happen. For instance, "She's going to start university in September" or "Look at those clouds - it's going to rain" (British Council). Think G.O = "Greatly Organized" for plans, "Obvious" for visible clues.
Present continuous for fixed arrangements -
The present continuous (am/is/are + verb-ing) signals definite future plans, often with a time adverbial. "I'm meeting my mentor at 3 PM" indicates a scheduled event rather than a spontaneous choice (Oxford Learner's Dictionaries). Remember: if you've booked it, you're "-ing" it.
Forming negatives and questions -
Future simple forms invert subjects and auxiliary "will" for questions ("Will you join us?") and add "not" for negatives ("I will not attend"). Contracted forms like "won't" are common in speech (Purdue OWL). Practice switching "I'll" ↔ "Won't I?" to master inversion.
Time clauses with future tenses -
When you join two future events, use present tense in the "when/as soon as" clause and "will" in the main clause: "When I arrive, I will call you." This rule avoids double-future verbs (University of Cambridge). A quick tip: time-clause = present; main clause = future.
