Question

Choose appropriate option to complete the given statement:
If you need to contact me, _________________ (I/stay) at the Lion Hotel until Friday.

• A. I've been staying
• B. I'd be staying
  
• C. I'll be staying
  
• D. I'd stayed
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C I'll be staying

The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected length of time, here, 'staying at the Lion Hotel until Friday'. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + -ing). 'Will be staying' is the future continuous tense of the verb 'to stay'. Hence, Option C is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They mention actions that are happening in the present (option A), actions that are hypothetical/unreal (option B) or actions that have already happened (option D).

Hence these options are incorrect.
