Question

Complete the sentence with the appropriate form of the verb:

Goodbye. I expect we ________ again before long.

• A. will meet
  
• B. met
  
• C. have met
  
• D. are meeting
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A will meet

The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, meeting. 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 meet. Hence, Option A is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that have already happened (options B and C) or continuous actions that are happening in the present (option D).

Hence these options are incorrect.
