Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
She told him that she _______ to see him the following day.

• A. will be come
• B. come
• C. came
• D. would come
• E. comes

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

would come

Since the sentence is talking about something that is yet to happen, it is only appropriate that the future tense be used. Hence option D, 'would come' is the correct answer.

Options B, C and D are incorrect because they are not in the future tense.

Option A is incorrect because the option itself is grammatically incorrect. 'Will be' is usually followed by the -ing form of verb.
