Fill in the blank with the correct form of future tense of the verb given in the bracket. We don’t think, our teacher ________ (meet) again.

will meet
meeting
will be meet
will have met

The correct answer is: will meet.

The sentence is in the present tense, but it expresses a doubt about the future. This is called the future-in-the-past. In this tense, we use the simple future tense of the verb.

  • Will meet: This is the simple future tense of the verb “meet.” It is used to express a future event that is certain or likely to happen.
  • Meeting: This is the present participle of the verb “meet.” It is used to express an action that is happening now or that is happening repeatedly.
  • Will be meet: This is the future perfect tense of the verb “meet.” It is used to express an action that will be completed by a certain time in the future.
  • Will have met: This is the future perfect progressive tense of the verb “meet.” It is used to express an action that will have been happening for a period of time by a certain time in the future.

In this case, we are expressing a doubt about whether we will meet our teacher again. We are not sure if we will meet them in the future, so we use the simple future tense.
