Select the sentence in the future tense.

Explanation

The sentence “I will be twenty five next Sunday.” is in the future tense because it uses:

👉 “will” + base form of verb (be) → standard structure of Simple Future Tense

This clearly indicates an action/state that will happen in the future.

❌ Why the other options are incorrect:

b. I have been twenty five next Sunday.
👉 Incorrect tense usage.
👉 “have been” is present perfect tense, which cannot be used with a future time expression like next Sunday.

c. I could be twenty five next Sunday
👉 “Could” shows possibility, not definite future.
👉 It is modal, not a clear future tense.

d. I should be twenty five next Sunday.
👉 “Should” expresses expectation or obligation, not definite future tense.
