Answer 2

Sure, let's go through each sentence and analyze the tenses used:

1. Our flight to Italy will leave/is leaving in ten minutes. - Both "will leave" and "is leaving" are correct here. "Will leave" is in the future tense, indicating a scheduled action, while "is leaving" is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action happening around now.

2. Are you thirsty? I’ll get/I’m going to get you a drink. - Both "I'll get" and "I'm going to get" are acceptable. Both express the speaker's intention to get a drink in the future.

3. I think it will rain/it’s raining tomorrow. - "I think it will rain" is in the future tense, expressing a prediction. "It's raining tomorrow" is less common because it's stating a future event as if it's happening now. The more common expression would be "I think it will rain tomorrow."

4. I can’t meet you on Tuesday. I’m playing/I will play basketball with Rob. - Both "I'm playing" and "I will play" are grammatically correct. "I'm playing" suggests that the basketball game is already scheduled or planned for that time, while "I will play" indicates a future action.

5. Are you doing/Will you do anything tonight? - Both "Are you doing" and "Will you do" are correct. They both inquire about the person's plans for the evening.

6. Oh, no! We’ve got no bread – I’ll get/I’m getting some from the shop. - Both "I'll get" and "I'm getting" are appropriate here. They both convey the speaker's intention to get bread in the future.

7. I’m going to stay/I’ll stay at home tonight. There’s a good film on TV. - Both "I'm going to stay" and "I'll stay" are correct. They both express the speaker's decision or intention to stay at home in the future.

8. When I get home, I will make/am going to make a sandwich. - Both "I will make" and "am going to make" are suitable. They both indicate the speaker's plan to make a sandwich after getting home.

In summary, both future simple ("will") and present continuous ("am going to," "is/are doing") can be used in various situations, depending on the nuance or emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
