Question

Complete the given sentence using appropriate form of verb:

I'm too tired to walk home. I think ____________ a taxi.

• A. I have got
• B. I am getting
• C. I got
• D. I'll get

Answer 1

The correct option is D I'll get

The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here it's 'getting a taxi'. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb], that is, 'will get'. 'I'll get' is a contraction of 'I will get'. Hence, Option D is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition.

Options A and C state an action already happened and option B states a continuous action in the present. Hence these options are incorrect.
