Question
What is the verb tense used in this sentence? "By then, some of your dreams will have become smaller -- but not all." A) past B) present C) future D) future perfect
Solution
The verb tense used in the sentence "By then, some of your dreams will have become smaller -- but not all." is D) future perfect.
Here's why:
-
The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will have been completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in the future.
-
In this sentence, "will have become" is the verb phrase. "Will" is a modal verb used for future tense, "have" is an auxiliary verb, and "become" is the main verb.
-
The use of "will have become" indicates that at some point in the future, the action of "becoming smaller" will be completed for "some of your dreams".
So, the correct answer is D) future perfect.
