Q. I ____ john and Liz after school tomorrow.
- A. am meet
- B. am meeting
- C. met
Q2. My sister ____ john and Liz after school tomorrow.
- A. Is meet
- B. Is meeting
- C. met
Herewith I attached 2 questions from one Korean student's exam. Actually these were very weird in case of mine also can't choose anyone of them.
Why there isn't D. (will meet) as I thought.
I'm waiting your brilliant comments about the above sentences.
For Q1, variants A and C are definitely a no-go.
For Q2, variants A and C are definitely a no-go also.
So we see that both variants B remain, and they are both present continuous. Fortunately, in English, present continuous can be used to express future:
- I'm meeting Jim at the airport = Jim and I have discussed this.
- I am leaving tomorrow. = I've already bought my train ticket.
- We're having a staff meeting next Monday = all members of staff have been told about it.
