Tense Problem

Dear Teachers

Please, conjugate these verbs in correct tense forms

E.g. She (to return) home from the University at 5 o'clock and by 6 o'clock she (to make supper) for the whole family.

Thanks beforehand

Hi Nata, She's returning home from the University at 5 o'clock, and by 6 o'clock she's going to make supper for the whole family. That's one possibility. You'll find more possibilities as correct too.

Hi Natalli,

All the following forms can be the right choise:

1. returns, 'll return, is returning, returned

2. makes, 'll make, is making, made

But I'mnot sure about the past forms since "by" is used.

Let' see what others say.

Regards,

Iman

Hallo Iman

Thank you a lot

aha, and I knew we can also put the future perfect tense form after the preposition "by".

I mean, e.g. "by 6 o'clock she will have made dinner..."

Anyways, thanks a lot
