To complete each sentence with the best option, let's consider the context of each and the rules of grammar regarding tenses, future intentions/promises, and time expressions:
When I ____ to him, I ____ him your news
The correct choice is c. talk/will give . "When I talk to him" (present tense for when the action does occur), "I will give him your news" (the future tense for an action or promise to occur after the initial action).
Wait a minute. - ____ the door for you
The correct choice is a. I'll open . This uses "I'll" as a contraction for "I will", which shows a spontaneous decision or offer at the moment of speaking.
I ____ send the parcel until I hear from you
The correct choice is b. won't . "Won't" is the contraction of "will not", indicating a future action that is contingent on another event.
They are coming here ____ three weeks
The correct choice is c. in . "In three weeks" refers to a future point of time starting now, commonly used to talk about when something will happen in the future.
My mother ____ to stay with us next week
The correct choice is a. is coming . This present continuous tense indicates a planned future event, common for scheduled events.
Andrew and Mary ____ married in May
The correct choice is c. are getting . Here, the present continuous tense is also used to talk about plans or arrangements made for the future.
____ Anna all the news when I see her
The correct choice is a. I'll tell . This implies a decision made at the moment of speaking or a future promise.
Our friends ____ meet us at the airport tonight
The correct choice is b. are going to . "Are going to" is commonly used to indicate planned future events or intentions.
____ you lend me your calculator for some minutes, please?
The correct choice is b. Will . "Will you...?" is a polite way to ask someone to do something for you.
The best options to complete each sentence are: 1c, 2a, 3b, 4c, 5a, 6c, 7a, 8b, and 9b. These choices reflect correct grammatical tense and intention in English. Each option enhances clarity and correctness in communication.
