Question

Select an appropriate option to complete the sentence:

Your friend is worried because she has lost an important letter.
YOU: Don't worry about the letter. I'm sure __________ it. (you/find)
FRIEND: I hope so.

• A. you have found
• B. you will find
• C. you are finding
• D. you will be finding

Answer 1

The correct option is B you will find

The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, finding the letter. 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 find. Hence, Option B is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that have already happened (option A), continuous actions that are happening in the present (option C) or continuous actions happening in the future (option D, the action 'finding' indicates that it won't happen in an instant, but the action itself 'to find' happens at once).

Hence these options are incorrect.
