Question

Fill in the blanks using the most appropriate future tense forms:
Where __________ you __________ this evening- to Nirula's or McDonald's?

• A. Do, go
• B. Are, going
• C. Will, go
• D. Shall, go

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Will, go

The traditional rule is that 'shall' is used with first person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while 'will' is used with second and third person pronouns (i.e. you, he, she, it, they) to express a future action. Thus option C is the correct answer and option D is incorrect.

The verb in the first blank must be an auxiliary (modal) verb, and the verb in the second blank must be the main verb. The auxiliary helps the main verb by determining the tense of a sentence.
Options C and D: 'You' is a second person pronoun. Hence the preferred auxiliary verb is 'will', as opposed to 'shall'. When 'shall' is used in this context, it means a duty or obligation. But, the given sentence simply asks about the future plans.
Hence option C is correct and D is incorrect.
Options A and B: The verbs 'do' and 'are' refer to the simple present and present continuous forms, respectively. The question specifically calls for future tense forms, hence A and B are incorrect.
