Question

Fill in the blank using the most appropriate option:

'Do you want me to do the washing-up?'

'No, it's all right. __________ it.'

• A. I am doing
• B. I have done
• C. I did
• D. I'll do

Answer 1

The correct option is D I'll do

The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, it's 'doing the washing-up'. 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 do'. 'I'll do' is a contraction of 'I will do'. Hence, Option D is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition.

Options B and C state an action that has already happened, and option A states a continuous action in the present.

Hence these options are incorrect.
