    Identify the tense of the following sentence. I am going to Mumbai in the evening.
    Question

    Identify the tense of the following sentence.
    I am going to Mumbai in the evening.

    A.

    Future indefinite

    B.

    Future continuous

    C.

    Present continuous

    D.

    Simple present

    Correct option is C


    Correct tense: (c) Present Continuous
    Explanation (highlight):
    • Structure: am/is/are + V-ing → “am going”
    • Present Continuous is often used for a fixed plan/arrangement in near future.
    Grammatical Rule (English):
    • Present Continuous can express future plan: Subject + am/is/are + V-ing + future time
    व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
    • Present Continuous (am/is/are + V-ing) का प्रयोग निकट भविष्य की योजना/तय कार्यक्रम के लिए भी होता है।
    Example: I am meeting him tomorrow.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    • (a) Future indefinite uses “will/shall + V¹”.
    • (b) Future continuous uses “will be + V-ing”.
    • (d) Simple present is for routines/facts; structure mismatch.
    Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
