which answer best fills in the blanks when they get

home from their trip they will be gone for seventeen

days I knew a potential answers in the navy The

00:24

problem with this ends is that the verbs disagree No

00:28

amount of mediation is going to help this one We

00:30

need to find some verbs who know how to get

00:32

along So the sentence gets off with a future tense

00:34

verb get so we know that the second part of

00:38

the sentence needs a future tense verb as well Knowing

these travellers return seventeen days will have already passed To

01:26

get across this idea we need choice A which takes

01:30

us into the future with the helping word will but

01:33

uses have been to bring us back a bit in

01:36

time Whenever we're dealing with this kind of time frame

01:39

we're in a tense called the future perfect I don't
