Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: Future continuous

Explanation:

Structure: 'will' + 'be' + present participle (verb+ing).

Example: In the sentence "Radha will be joining us," the phrase "will be joining" follows this structure.

Meaning: The future continuous tense describes an action that will be in progress at a specific time or during a period in the future.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • Simple future: Uses "will" + base verb (for example, "will join"). It does not show the progressive/ongoing aspect that "will be joining" shows.

  • Past continuous: Uses "was/were" + verb-ing and refers to actions in the past, so it does not match a sentence that uses "will."

  • Past perfect continuous: Uses "had been" + verb-ing to describe an ongoing action before another past event; it is a past form and therefore does not apply to a future action.
