Answer :

In this question, you need to choose the correct form of words to complete sentences and underline the appropriate words. Let's go through each part step-by-step:

Part 1: Choosing Between "Will" and "Going to"

  1. We'll go to the cinema this evening. Do you want to come?
    This sentence implies a more spontaneous decision.
  2. We're going to the cinema this evening. Do you want to come?
    This indicates a planned activity.

In sentences where a plan or prediction based on present evidence is implied, "going to" is often used. When discussing decisions made at the moment of speaking or less certain predictions, "will" is suitable.

  1. Look out! That car will crash!
    "Will" is often used for predictions, especially when speaking about events with a perceived certainty.
  2. Bye for now! I'm going to see you tomorrow.
    "Going to" indicates a plan for the near future.
  3. Sorry I can't meet you. I will go to the doctor's.
    Here, "will" is used sometimes to express future actions decided at the conversation moment.
  4. Have you heard the weather forecast? It's raining tomorrow.
    "It's raining tomorrow" sounds incorrect as forecasts usually use "going to rain" or "will rain", but the answer should follow given choice structure.
  5. I've bought my ticket. I'll leave tomorrow.
    This sentence uses "I'll" to show an intention.

Part 2: Underlining the Correct Word

  1. Tina will definitely be here at / on 6.00.
    Use "at" for precise times, like 6:00.
  2. Our new sports centre will be ready next year / the next year.
    "Next year" specifies the coming calendar year.
  3. Hurry up! The bus will be here later / soon.
    "Soon" implies it will arrive in a short time.
  4. I'll see you after / later the lesson.
    "After" needs a reference such as "the lesson."
  5. Are you doing anything at night / tonight?
    "Tonight" refers to the current evening/night.
  6. I won't be long. I'll be ready after / in a minute.
    "In" indicates the duration of time until it happens.
  7. Everything will be different at / in the year 3500!
    Use "in" for years or periods.

Choosing between "will" and "going to" can influence the subtleties of intention and planning in your English sentences, while preposition choices affect time expressions.
