Is the future (simple) acceptable here?
hello,
In a fill in the blanks with the right tense, I saw the following sentence: My brother (finish) his homework by midnight. I think the right tense is the future perfect (my brother will have finished his homework by midnight), but would the "simple" future (will finish)acceptable?
Thanks

Lord, almost any tense will fit in there: My brother (finishes, will finish, will have finished, will be finishing, has finished, had finished, finished, has been finishing) his homework by midnight.
