What is the correct sentence to express a decision made at the moment?
- A.
I am going to help you tomorrow.
- B.
I will help you with this now.
- C.
I help you right away.
- D.
I helped you immediately.
Correct Answer
B. I will help you with this now.Explanation
The correct answer is "I will help you with this now." The simple future tense is often used to express spontaneous decisions made at the moment of speaking. Here, the auxiliary verb "will" shows an immediate decision, fitting the situation perfectly. Other options are incorrect because "am going to" suggests a prior plan, "help you right away" is present tense and doesn't fit the context, and "helped" is past tense. Understanding these distinctions can greatly improve your ability to use future tenses appropriately.Rate this question:

Expressing a spontaneous decision.
- B.
Indicating an intention or plan.
- C.
Talking about a past event.
- D.
Describing a condition.
Correct Answer
B. Indicating an intention or plan.Explanation
The correct answer is "Indicating an intention or plan." The phrase "going to" is used to express plans or intentions that have already been made before speaking. In this sentence, the speaker is conveying that "she" has a plan to start her own business. "Expressing a spontaneous decision" is incorrect because that would require "will" instead of "going to." The other options do not align with the structure or intent of the sentence.Rate this question:

Which sentence shows an action that is certain to happen?
- A.
He will definitely win the race.
- B.
He is going to probably win the race.
- C.
He wins the race definitely.
- D.
He might win the race.
Correct Answer
A. He will definitely win the race.Explanation
The correct answer is "He will definitely win the race." This sentence uses the modal verb "will" to indicate certainty, while "definitely" reinforces the surety of the statement. "He is going to probably win the race" is incorrect because "probably" indicates doubt. "He wins the race definitely" is grammatically incorrect due to word order, and "he might win the race" indicates possibility rather than certainty. Understanding modal verbs and their adverbs is crucial for expressing levels of certainty in future events.Rate this question:
