Step-by-step solution for: Future Tense Verbs Worksheets | Free English Worksheets
To rewrite the sentences in the future tense, we need to adjust the verb forms and ensure that the sentences reflect actions or states that will happen in the future. Here are the solutions with explanations:
---
- Original: Bill was playing basketball when Sarah swung by his place.
- Future Tense: Bill will be playing basketball when Sarah swings by his place.
Explanation:
- "Was playing" (past continuous) becomes "will be playing" (future continuous).
- "Swung" (simple past) becomes "swings" (simple present, used in a conditional clause for future events).
---
- Original: Sam is watering the garden while his brother is cooking.
- Future Tense: Sam will be watering the garden while his brother is cooking.
Explanation:

- The second part ("his brother is cooking") remains in the present tense because it describes a habitual or ongoing action in the future.
