Zorluk: OrtaVerbs, Tenses, and Aspect

Supply the correct verb form to complete the temporal sequence in the sentence below.

Cevap:By the time the regulatory agency inspects the facility next Friday, the engineering team 【will have completed】 the structural repairs.

Cevap

will have completed
The phrase 'will have completed' correctly uses the future perfect tense to show that the action of finishing the repairs will occur before the future inspection takes place.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the temporal expression and clause structure.
The clause beginning with 'By the time...' uses the present simple verb 'inspects' to mark a future point in time.
Time clauses introduced by 'by the time' establish a future deadline before which another action must be finished.
2
Apply the appropriate verb tense and aspect.
The main clause requires the future perfect tense ('will have completed').
The future perfect tense (will + have + past participle) expresses an action that will be completed prior to a specified future reference point.
