Question

Identify the tense used in the sentence.
"When shall our application be approved?"

A.

Future perfect tense

B.

Present indefinite tense

C.

Past perfect tense

D.

Future indefinite tense

Correct option is D

The correct answer is: (d) Future indefinite tense

The sentence "When shall our application be approved?" is in the future indefinite tense (also known as the simple future tense). It is structured with the auxiliary verb "shall", which indicates the future tense, followed by the passive voice construction "be approved."

Explanation:

  • Future Indefinite Tense is used to refer to an action that will take place at some unspecified point in the future.
  • In this sentence, the question seeks information about the time in the future when the application will be approved.

Example:

  • "Shall we start the meeting now?"
  • "Will the project be completed on time?"

The future indefinite tense accurately represents the structure and meaning of the given sentence.

Additional Information:

  1. Future Perfect Tense:

    • Incorrect because it describes actions that will be completed before a specific point in the future.
    • Example: "Our application will have been approved by next week."
  2. Present Indefinite Tense:

    • Incorrect because it refers to habitual actions or general truths.
    • Example: "Our application is usually approved quickly."
  3. Past Perfect Tense:

    • Incorrect because it is used for actions that were completed before another action in the past.
    • Example: "Our application had been approved before the meeting began."
