Question

Select appropriate option to complete the sentence:

A: Has George decided what to do when he leaves school?
B: Oh, yes. Everything is planned. ________________ a holiday for a few weeks and then ____________ a computer programming course.

• A. He's going to have ... he's going to do
• B. He's gone to have ... he's gone to do
• C. He'll go to have ... he'll go to do
• D. He'd go to have ... he'd go to do

Answer 1

The correct option is A He's going to have ... he's going to do

Sometimes, speakers use the present continuous tense to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future, here, the action of getting a holiday and doing a computer programming course. In that case, we use "going to". The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle (root verb+ing). Hence, Option A is correct.

The rest of the options either indicate that the action has continued to the present (Option B) or that the action will happen in distant and indefinite future (Option C). Option D indicates a hypothetical/unreal action.

Hence they're incorrect.
