In simple words: To form the Simple Future Tense, we use 'will' or 'shall' before the base form of the verb. We use 'will' for most subjects and 'shall' mainly for 'I' and 'We', especially in formal contexts. For questions, 'will' or 'shall' comes before the subject.

🎯 Exam Tip: Remember to use 'will' or 'shall' followed by the base form of the verb for simple future tense, and invert the subject and 'will/shall' for questions.

In simple words: The Future Continuous Tense describes an action that will be happening over a period in the future. We form it using 'will be' or 'shall be' followed by the verb's -ing form. This tense helps us talk about ongoing actions at a specific time in the future.

🎯 Exam Tip: Use 'will be' or 'shall be' with the verb's -ing form to show an action continuing at a certain point in the future. Don't forget to include 'be' between 'will/shall' and the -ing verb.

In simple words: These sentences use past perfect tense because one past action happened before another past action. The "had" shows that something finished before a later event in the past. When choosing, look for the action that was completed earlier.

🎯 Exam Tip: When choosing between past perfect and simple past, identify the sequence of events. The action that occurred first generally uses past perfect (had + past participle).

In simple words: We use the past perfect continuous tense to talk about an action that started in the past and continued up to another point in the past. This tense uses 'had been' followed by the -ing form of the verb. It emphasizes how long an action was happening.

🎯 Exam Tip: Look for time phrases like 'since morning' or 'for a month/four years' that indicate a duration leading up to a past moment, which are key signals for the past perfect continuous tense.
