A test
Hello,
I have been told that more than one answer is possible in several of the questions in this test. Could anyone tell me which questions are they?
http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/future.htm
Is it number 4? I know that present progressive form, be going to, simple future form, and present simple (for a scheduled event) can be used there. For example;
On Sunday at 8 o'clock I meet my friend. (I remember a similar example where it was used for a scheduled event). Maybe in questions number 5 and 2 it's the same.
Maybe in questions number 4 and 5 I could use present simple form to express the idea that the action is a part of a scheduled event, and in number 2 I could use present simple to show that the action takes place regularly? (hmm, but in this case there must be 'every Saturday'.. ), I really wonder if I can use present simple form in the second sentence to show that it's a regular action or a scheduled event.
Thanks

Yes, there are many possible answers. Most of them can easily accommodate two futures, and certain contexts could accommodate even more. I have entered the most common ones: 1) The train leaves / will leave / is leaving at 11:45.
