Pregunta 1

Bloom: Remember

Look at those dark clouds. It will rain in a few minutes.

Which option correctly uses 'will' to make a prediction about the future?

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) It will rain in a few minutes.

  • A) It will rain in a few minutes.Correct! 'Will' followed by the base form is the standard way to make a prediction about something the speaker believes is certain.
  • B) It rains in a few minutes.'Rains' is the present simple, which describes a habit or a general truth rather than a future prediction.
  • C) It raining in a few minutes.'Raining' is an -ing form and cannot follow an auxiliary on its own in a future statement.
  • D) It has rain in a few minutes.'Has rain' mixes a present perfect auxiliary with a noun, and that combination is not English.

💡 Explicación

'Will' plus the base form of the verb expresses a future fact, a prediction or a spontaneous decision. Unlike the present simple, it needs no auxiliary inversion, because 'will' already carries the tense: it will rain, we will arrive.

Pregunta 2

Bloom: Understand

We have bought the tickets and we are meeting our friends at the airport; the flight leaves at six.

Choose the sentence that correctly expresses a plan already decided with 'be going to'.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) We are going to meet our friends at the airport at six.

  • A) We are meeting to our friends at the airport at six.'Meeting to' uses the wrong preposition; a person is met at a place without 'to', and the plan takes 'going to'.
  • B) We going to meet our friends at the airport at six.'Going to' needs the auxiliary 'are' in front of it, otherwise the clause has no finite verb.
  • C) We are go to meet our friends at the airport at six.'Are go' mixes the auxiliary 'are' with a bare infinitive; after 'are' an -ing form or an adjective follows.
  • D) We are going to meet our friends at the airport at six.Correct! 'Are going to' expresses an intention or a plan that has already been arranged.

💡 Explicación

'Be going to' describes an intention, a plan or evidence that something is about to happen. The decision already exists at the moment of speaking, which is what separates it from 'will', used for predictions and for decisions taken on the spot.

Pregunta 3

Bloom: Apply

What are you doing? I am revising for the exam. I am going to study medicine.

Choose the exchange that correctly distinguishes a present activity from a future intention.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) 'What are you doing?' 'I am revising. I am going to study medicine.'

  • A) 'What are you doing?' 'I am revise. I am going to study medicine.''Am revise' needs the -ing form of the verb in the present continuous.
  • B) 'What are you doing?' 'I am revising. I am going to study medicine.'Correct! 'Am revising' reports what is happening now and 'am going to' reports the intention for later.
  • C) 'What are you going to do?' 'I am revising for the exam now.''Going to do' asks about an intention, but the answer describes an activity already under way, which answers a different question.
  • D) 'What do you do?' 'I am revising for the exam.''Do you do' asks about a habit, not about what is happening at this moment.

💡 Explicación

The present continuous asks about the activity in progress at the moment of speaking, while 'be going to' looks forward to a plan. Using the right question word for each of the two ideas is what keeps the exchange coherent.

Pregunta 4

Bloom: Analyze

Look at the children running towards the swimming pool. They are going to fall.

Choose the sentence that correctly uses 'be going to' for evidence in front of the speaker.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) They are going to fall.

  • A) They are go to falling.'Are go' mixes the auxiliary with a bare infinitive, and 'falling' needs the -ing form after 'going to'.
  • B) They will fell tomorrow.'Will fell' has two problems: 'felled' is not the base form, and 'will' with 'fell' does not describe what is about to happen.
  • C) They are going to fall.Correct! 'Are going to' expresses a prediction based on visible evidence: the running children make the accident obvious.
  • D) They goes to fall.'Goes' is the third person singular of the present simple and cannot follow 'to' in a future intention.

💡 Explicación

'Be going to' with visible evidence is the closest English equivalent of the Spanish 'va a', which also expresses an imminent accident or event. 'Will' is used more for neutral predictions and for decisions taken while speaking.

Pregunta 5

Bloom: Evaluate

The phone is ringing. I will answer it, but first I will turn off the music.

Choose the sentence that correctly uses 'will' for decisions taken at the moment of speaking.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) I will answer it, but first I will turn off the music.

  • A) I will answer it, but first I will turn off the music.Correct! Both decisions are taken now, and 'will' plus the base form is used for spontaneous decisions.
  • B) I am going to answers it, but first I am going to turn off the music.'Am going to answers' uses a base form after the auxiliary 'are', and a plan made on the spot is normally expressed with 'will'.
  • C) I will answering it, but first I will turn off the music.'Will answering' needs the base form after 'will', so the correct form is 'will answer'.
  • D) I am answering it, but first I am turning off the music.The present continuous describes actions already under way, but these two actions have not started yet.

💡 Explicación

Spontaneous decisions taken while speaking use 'will': the doorbell is ringing, so I will go. Decisions made earlier, before the conversation, are expressed with 'be going to': I am going to call you after lunch.

Pregunta 6

Bloom: Remember

When will the results be published? They will be published at the end of the month.

Choose the exchange that correctly uses 'will' in question and answer.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) 'When will the results be published?' 'They will be published at the end of the month.'

  • A) 'When the results will be published?' 'They will be published at the end of the month.'A question needs the auxiliary 'will' before the subject, so the order is 'when will the results be published?'
  • B) 'When will the results be published?' 'They will published at the end of the month.''Will published' lacks the auxiliary 'be' that the passive voice requires after 'will'.
  • C) 'When will the results be published?' 'They will be published at the end of the month.'Correct! 'Will be published' is the passive of the future, and the answer repeats the same structure with a different subject.
  • D) 'When will the results be published?' 'They are published at the end of the month.''Are published' is the present passive and would describe a repeated publication rather than the future one.

💡 Explicación

The future passive has the form 'will be' plus the past participle, and in questions the auxiliary precedes the subject. It is the standard way to report a future event in which the subject receives the action rather than performing it.

Pregunta 7

Bloom: Understand

I think our team will win the match; they have trained very hard this season.

Choose the sentence that correctly expresses a prediction based on present evidence.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) I think our team will win the match.

  • A) I think our team is winning the match now.'Is winning' is the present continuous, which describes an action already in progress.
  • B) I think our team will wins the match.'Wins' carries the -s of the third person singular, but after 'will' the verb always stays in its base form.
  • C) I think our team wins the match tomorrow.'Wins tomorrow' is a present simple with a future time expression, which is possible but states a different kind of certainty.
  • D) I think our team will win the match.Correct! 'Will win' is the prediction form: 'will' plus the base form of the verb with no ending.

💡 Explicación

After 'will', 'shall' and 'going to', the main verb is always the base form with no -s and no -ed. This is one of the most reliable rules in English: she will work, they will go, it will rain.

Pregunta 8

Bloom: Apply

We are leaving tomorrow at six, so we need to pack tonight.

Choose the sentence that correctly expresses a fixed future arrangement with the present simple.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) We are leaving tomorrow at six.

  • A) We leaves tomorrow at six.'Leaves' carries the -s of the third person singular, but 'we' is plural and takes the base form of the verb.
  • B) We are leaving tomorrow at six.Correct! The present simple with a future time expression is used for timetables, schedules and fixed arrangements.
  • C) We will leaving tomorrow at six.'Will leaving' needs the base form after 'will', so the correct form would be 'will leave'.
  • D) We are leave tomorrow at six.'Are leave' mixes the auxiliary 'are' with a bare infinitive; after 'are' an -ing form follows.

💡 Explicación

English uses the present simple for future arrangements that are fixed by a timetable: the train leaves at six, the exam starts at nine. It is one of the classic differences from Spanish, which normally uses the future or the going-to form in both cases.

Pregunta 9

Bloom: Analyze

I promise I will help you with the project as soon as I finish my homework.

Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb: 'I promise I (help) you with the project.'

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) I promise I will help you with the project.

  • A) I promise I will help you with the project.Correct! 'Will help' is the correct form after a promise, with 'will' plus the base form of the verb.
  • B) I promise I helps you with the project.'Helps' is a present simple form; a promise about a future action needs 'will' followed by the base form.
  • C) I promise I helping you with the project.'Helping' is an -ing form and cannot be the verb of a future promise on its own.
  • D) I promise I am help you with the project.'Am help' mixes the auxiliary 'am' with a base form; after 'am' an -ing form or an adjective follows.

💡 Explicación

Verbs of promise and offer, such as 'promise', 'offer' and 'agree', are normally followed by 'will' plus the base form. Some speakers prefer 'shall', which has the same structure: I promise I shall help you.

Pregunta 10

Bloom: Evaluate

Where are the maps? I think I am going to leave them in the car.

Choose the sentence that correctly expresses a suspicion about the present.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) I think I am going to leave them in the car.

  • A) I think I am going to left them in the car.'Left' is a past form and cannot follow 'going to', which requires the base form of the verb.
  • B) I think I am going to leave them in the car.Correct! 'Am going to leave' is the form used to express a suspicion or a strong expectation about something that has just happened.
  • C) I think I have going to leave them in the car.'Have going to' mixes two different constructions; the future intention is 'am going to' on its own.
  • D) I think I going to leave them in the car.'Going to' needs the auxiliary 'am' in front of it, otherwise the clause has no finite verb.

💡 Explicación

'Be going to' followed by an infinitive often expresses a suspicion about something that happened moments earlier, as in 'you have gone mad'. It carries the idea that the evidence is visible to the speaker at that moment.

Pregunta 11

Bloom: Remember

The construction company said that the new bridge will be finished in three years.

Choose the sentence that correctly reports a future statement in reported speech.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) The company said that the new bridge will be finished in three years.

  • A) The company said that the new bridge has be finished in three years.'Has be finished' mixes a perfect auxiliary with the word 'be', and that combination is not grammatical.
  • B) The company said that the new bridge will finished in three years.'Will finished' lacks the auxiliary 'be' that the passive voice requires.
  • C) The company said that the new bridge is finished in three years.'Is finished' is the present passive and would describe a bridge already completed, which the sentence denies.
  • D) The company said that the new bridge will be finished in three years.Correct! 'Will be finished' is the future passive as it appeared in the original statement, which English allows in reported speech.

💡 Explicación

Unlike the other tenses, 'will' is not normally shifted back when a statement is reported, so 'will be finished' stays as it was. The passive structure 'will be plus participle' therefore survives the change of speaker.

Pregunta 12

Bloom: Understand

Don't wait for me at the station. I am taking a different route because the main road is closed.

Choose the sentence that explains a decision taken just before speaking.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) I am taking a different route because the main road is closed.

  • A) I am take a different route because the main road is closed.'Am take' mixes the auxiliary 'am' with a bare infinitive; after 'am' the -ing form follows.
  • B) I will taking a different route because the main road is closed.'Will taking' needs the base form after 'will', so the correct form would be 'will take'.
  • C) I am taking a different route because the main road is closed.Correct! The present continuous here expresses a recently arranged plan and explains the advice given at the start.
  • D) I take a different route because the main road is closed.'Take' is the present simple and would describe a habit rather than the route chosen for this journey.

💡 Explicación

The present continuous often reports arrangements for the immediate future: I am meeting her at eight, we are leaving tomorrow. In American English this is very common, while British speakers tend to prefer 'will' or 'be going to' for the same idea.

Pregunta 13

Bloom: Apply

I've bought the ingredients, so tonight I am going to cook a large dinner for my friends.

Choose the sentence that correctly links a past preparation with a future intention.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) I have bought the ingredients, so tonight I am going to cook dinner.

  • A) I have bought the ingredients, so tonight I am going to cook dinner.Correct! The present perfect reports the completed preparation and 'am going to' reports the intention that follows from it.
  • B) I bought the ingredients, so tonight I am going to cooked dinner.'Bought' is the past simple, which is possible, but 'going to cooked' is wrong because 'going to' needs the base form.
  • C) I have bought the ingredients, so tonight I am going to cook for dinner.'Cook for dinner' inserts a preposition that changes the meaning, since 'cook dinner' has no preposition in English.
  • D) I have buy the ingredients, so tonight I am going to cook dinner.'Have buy' needs the past participle 'bought' after the auxiliary 'have'.

💡 Explicación

A present perfect clause followed by a 'going to' clause is a common pattern of cause and consequence: I have saved enough money, so I am going to travel. The perfect gives the evidence and the intention states the consequence.

Pregunta 14

Bloom: Analyze

She will probably arrive late; she has just told me that her flight has been delayed.

Choose the sentence that correctly uses 'will' plus an adverb of probability.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) She will probably arrive late.

  • A) She will arrives probably late.'Will arrives' adds the -s of the third person singular, but after 'will' the verb keeps its base form.
  • B) She probably will arrive late.'Probably will arrive' is understood in speech but is not the standard written order; the adverb normally follows 'will'.
  • C) She will probably arrive late.Correct! 'Will probably arrive' places the adverb between the auxiliary and the base form, which is the usual position for an adverb of probability.
  • D) She will probable arrive late.'Probable' is an adjective and cannot modify a verb; the adverb form is 'probably'.

💡 Explicación

Adverbs of probability such as 'probably', 'perhaps' and 'certainly' normally follow the auxiliary: it will probably rain, it might perhaps be wrong. The verb after 'will' stays in its base form whatever adverb comes before it.

Pregunta 15

Bloom: Evaluate

How long are you going to stay in Quito? I'm going to stay for two weeks.

Choose the exchange that correctly uses 'be going to' for a planned duration.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) How long are you going to stay in Quito? I am going to stay for two weeks.

  • A) How long are you going to stayed in Quito? I am going to stay for two weeks.'Going to stayed' needs the base form after 'going to', so the correct form is 'going to stay'.
  • B) How long are you going to stay in Quito? I am going to stay for two weeks.Correct! 'Going to stay' is correct in the question and the answer repeats the same structure with a duration given by 'for'.
  • C) How long you are going to stay in Quito? I am going to stay for two weeks.A question needs the auxiliary 'are' before the subject, so the order is 'how long are you going to stay'.
  • D) How long are you going to stay in Quito? I am going to stayed for two weeks.'Am going to stayed' has the same error as the question: after 'going to' the verb returns to its base form.

💡 Explicación

Questions about future plans are built with 'be going to' plus the infinitive, and the auxiliary comes before the subject. The answer to such a question gives the duration with 'for', as in 'for two weeks', or with 'until' and a date.

Pregunta 16

Bloom: Remember

Hurry up! The train will leave in ten minutes and we are still packing.

Choose the sentence that correctly warns about a future event with 'will'.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) The train will leave in ten minutes and we are still packing.

  • A) The train will to leave in ten minutes and we are still packing.'Will to leave' inserts an infinitive marker that does not appear after 'will' in English.
  • B) The train leaves in ten minutes and we are still pack.'Still pack' needs the -ing form, so the present continuous would be 'are still packing'.
  • C) The train will leaving in ten minutes and we are still packing.'Will leaving' needs the base form after 'will', so the correct form is 'will leave'.
  • D) The train will leave in ten minutes and we are still packing.Correct! 'Will leave' states the future event and the present continuous 'are still packing' shows what is happening now.

💡 Explicación

A sentence frequently mixes a future statement with a present continuous: the bus is coming and we are still waiting. The future element warns about what is about to happen and the progressive shows the current situation.

Pregunta 17

Bloom: Understand

I am not going to argue about it; I am just going to explain my decision.

Choose the sentence that correctly expresses a firm intention with 'be going to'.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: A) I am not going to argue about it; I am just going to explain my decision.

  • A) I am not going to argue about it; I am just going to explain my decision.Correct! Both clauses use the negative or the plain form of 'be going to' with the base form of the verb, as intentions require.
  • B) I not going to argue about it; I am just going to explain my decision.English places the auxiliary before 'not', so a negative clause begins with 'am not', never with 'not going'.
  • C) I am not going to arguing about it; I am just going to explain my decision.'Going to arguing' needs the base form after 'going to', so the correct form is 'going to argue'.
  • D) I am not go to argue about it; I am just going to explain my decision.'Am not go' mixes the auxiliary with a bare infinitive; after 'to' the base form 'go' belongs to 'going to go'.

💡 Explicación

The negative of 'be going to' is 'not going to', which requires the auxiliary before it: I am not going to complain. The main verb stays in the base form, exactly as it does in the affirmative.

Pregunta 18

Bloom: Apply

The government says that the new hospital will open next year.

Choose the question that correctly asks when the hospital will open.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: B) When will the new hospital open?

  • A) When the new hospital will open?A question needs the auxiliary before the subject, so the order is 'when will the new hospital open?'
  • B) When will the new hospital open?Correct! The auxiliary 'will' comes before the subject and the verb stays in the base form: when will it open?
  • C) When does the new hospital will open?'Does' and 'will' are two different auxiliaries and cannot be used together in the same verb phrase.
  • D) When the new hospital opens?'When the new hospital opens?' is a statement order and ends with a question mark, so it is not a question at all.

💡 Explicación

A wh question in the future follows the same order as any other question: wh word, auxiliary, subject, base form of the verb. The auxiliary 'will' already carries the future meaning, so no other auxiliary appears.

Pregunta 19

Bloom: Analyze

We have never been to Galapagos, but next July we are going to go.

Choose the sentence that correctly contrasts an experience up to now with a future plan.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: D) We have never been to the islands, but next July we are going to go.

  • A) We have never been to the islands, but next July we are going to went.'Going to went' needs the base form after 'going to', so the correct form is 'going to go'.
  • B) We have never went to the islands, but next July we are going to go.'Never went' is the past simple and would place the experience before a closed past period instead of up to the present.
  • C) We never been to the islands, but next July we are going to go.'Never been' needs the auxiliary 'have' in front of it, so the clause would be 'have never been'.
  • D) We have never been to the islands, but next July we are going to go.Correct! The present perfect describes the absence of the experience up to now and 'are going to' states the future plan.

💡 Explicación

'Have never been' and 'are going to' express two different time relations: one looks back over the whole life of the subject and the other looks forward from now. Combining them is a natural way to contrast past experience with a future intention.

Pregunta 20

Bloom: Evaluate

What are you going to do after you graduate? I am going to work in a coastal town.

Choose the exchange that correctly uses 'be going to' for a long-term intention.

Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.

Ver respuesta

Respuesta correcta: C) What are you going to do after you graduate? I am going to work on the coast.

  • A) What are you going to did after you graduate? I am going to work on the coast.'Going to did' uses the past form after 'going to', which requires the base form of a verb.
  • B) What you are going to do after you graduate? I am going to work on the coast.A question needs the auxiliary 'are' before the subject, so the order is 'what are you going to do?'
  • C) What are you going to do after you graduate? I am going to work on the coast.Correct! 'Going to do' is the planned intention and the answer repeats the same construction to describe the future.
  • D) What are you going to do after you graduate? I am going to worked on the coast.'Am going to worked' needs the base form 'work' after 'going to'.

💡 Explicación

Questions about long-term intentions are made with 'be going to' plus the infinitive, and the answer repeats that structure. Time expressions such as 'after you graduate' locate the plan in the future and confirm that it has not happened yet.
