Persent Perfect or Continous for this sentense

Dear Member,

Yesterday, I read a quite tricky sentence that make me confuse about which sentence is more corect for it.

The sentence is : So, most of you ------- this course while you are on holiday from work.
a- have followed.
b- are following.
c- followed.

Thanks for replay.
  

Top answer

Only b , because the Adverbial Clause of Time implies future event is to take place. Contionuous is used here for expressing future arrangement.

Thank you for your replay....I get the idea. However, How should I know the future tense is best answer for that ? and why present perfect is not acceptable? moreover, In which cause it will be acceptable?

Thanks again

How can I change this sentence to Past tense?

Is it "So, most of you were following this course while you were on holiday from work." ?

Yes. That's the past tense of the same sentence.
