Septic,
This is my observation. I am not sure if you are asking for help in completing this exercise or you were asking people to complete in for you. Either way, this exercise was poorly conceived and not well written in my opinion, regardless who the author was. It specified the use of future continuous but has past tense and present perfect context in the passage, which made this exercise

Thanks for your reply! I don't know who the author was....... But a friend of mine has to do it and got some problems with it. Especially about the 3rd verb-matter. As all the state verbs which have not a continuous for ( except if some of them are used to express some action) , but MATTER couldn't express any action, so it couldn't be used in future cont. .... So .... I had to help my friend wit

Septic,
It is nice of you to help your friend, but if you jump in to help him because he said he couldn't do it, you are actually not doing him an good at all. He needs to put some effort in the homework and studying if he wants to learn and improve his English. As I have stated, this exercise is unrealistic because in the natural scheme of things, I will be shocked if a native will write or s
