Identify the verb form in the following sentence. Jeremy will be planting tulips in the spring. A. future perfect progressive B.
lyudmila [28]
Hey there Carlos!

Let's examine this above.

<span>Jeremy will be planting tulips in the spring.

let's take some key point's from this.

</span><span>Jeremy (will) be (planting) tulips in the spring.

The word's "will" and also "planting" are a form of the future tense.

So, in this case, we can cross out both option (c) and also (d).

Option (c) and also (d) are (present), and the sentence is not present, it would be in the future.

So, now we have both option (a) and also (b) as our last options.

This would be considered a "future perfect progressive" because the sentence shows that "he will plant tulips", which shows that this would be a future perfect goal pretty much.

Hope this helps you Carlos, and if you need any more help, never hesitate to ask more question's on Brainly
