Perplexing questions
Choose the correct answer:
1- She is exhausted. She ……fall down.
- a) is going to b) will
*My answer: is going to
I chose "going to" because "exhausted" is a temporary adjective. I learnt that if there is a temporary adjective describing a noun, we use "going to" and not "will". Is that right?
2- My brother is clever. He …….come first.
- a) will b) is going to
My answer is : will
I chose "will" because "clever" is a permanent quality.
3- Tom studies hard. He ……..succeed.
- a) will b) is going to
My answer is : is going to
I choose "going to" because there is an evidence. Is it possible to use "will" here?
4- If you study hard, you…..succeed.
- a) will b) are going to
My answer is: will
I chose "will" but I wonder if I could use "going to" in this sentence.
