Question

Complete the sentence with an appropriate option with the help of the hint in the bracket:

_____________ a party next Saturday. I hope you can come. (The decision of throwing the party has already been made.)

• A. I'm going to have
• B. I'll have
• C. I had
• D. I'll be having

Answer 1

The correct option is A I'm going to have

Sometimes, speakers use the present continuous tense to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future, here, the action of going to have a party. The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle (root verb+ing). Hence, Option A is correct.

The rest of the options either indicate that the action has already happened (Option C) or that the action will happen in distant and indefinite future (Option B and D), hence they're incorrect.
