Sure! Let’s solve this worksheet step by step.
The task is to
rewrite each sentence in the future tense. That means we need to change the verb(s) in each sentence to show that the action will happen *in the future*.
We’ll use the simple future tense, which is usually formed with
“will” + base form of the verb (e.g., “will try”, “will stop”, etc.). For continuous actions in the future, we can also use
“will be” + present participle (e.g., “will be dancing”).

1. Samson tries his best to win the race.
→
Samson will try his best to win the race.
✔ Explanation: “tries” becomes “will try” — simple future.
---
2. Everyone stopped clapping when he entered the room.
→
Everyone will stop clapping when he enters the room.
✔ Explanation: “stopped” → “will stop”. Note: The second part (“when he entered”) often stays in present tense in time clauses even when the main clause is future — so “enters” (present simple) is correct here.

3. Matilda flew to Italy to be with her family.
→
Matilda will fly to Italy to be with her family.
✔ Explanation: “flew” (past) → “will fly” (future). The infinitive “to be” doesn’t change.
---
4. The people were dancing and singing at the wedding.
→
The people will be dancing and singing at the wedding.
✔ Explanation: “were dancing/singing” (past continuous) → “will be dancing/singing” (future continuous). This shows an ongoing action in the future.

5. Martin sang his favourite song in front of everyone.
→
Martin will sing his favourite song in front of everyone.
✔ Explanation: “sang” (past) → “will sing” (simple future).
---
6. We were shopping when you came to our place.
→
We will be shopping when you come to our place.
✔ Explanation: “were shopping” → “will be shopping” (future continuous). Again, “came” changes to “come” because it’s in a time clause after “when”.
---
7. She saw her friends crossing the street.
→
She will see her friends crossing the street.
✔ Explanation: “saw” (past) → “will see” (simple future). The phrase “crossing the street” remains unchanged — it describes what the friends are doing at the moment she sees them.

💡 Tip: When rewriting sentences into future tense, always look for the main verb and replace it with “will + base verb”. If the original sentence uses a continuous form (was/were + -ing), consider using “will be + -ing” for future continuous.
