| Tenses
Arghhh, please help me, I am so frustrated and I am going insane.
I am currently studying and have to determine the Tense of the following sentences. I am going around and around in circles and probably confusing myself more. Most examples I find don't seem to allow for the out of the norm. I am stuck on the following (among others, but I'll limit it to three). We were to focus on the highlighted words only: I don't think they are the future tense even though we are talking about the future because they don't seem to fit the rules. I've eliminated all the past tenses obviously.
We are also supposed identify the "time" of each sentence. I have chosen respectively, Future, Future and Present.
1. We've got the next lesson in the language laboratory.
2. I am to give a speech at the conference next week.
3. I wish I had more time to finish this exercise (I chose simple present).
My choices are:
Present simple
Present continuous
Present Perfect
Present perfect continuous
Future continuous
Future perfect
Future perfect continuous
Thank you |
