what tense is the verb in the following sentence? What are you wearing to school tomorrow?
See previous post. What is the verb here? Then read through the link I gave you.
What do you think?
I believe it would be future, I am not a hundred percent on that because it doesn't have the word "will" in the sentence however it is talking about something that will happen in the future. Is that correct?
True. The phrase "are going" could be present tense -- as in -- What are you wearing now?
However, in your sentence, the word "tomorrow" tells us that the verb is in the future tense.
Technically, "are going" is present progressive tense, but Ms. Sue is right -- the word "tomorrow" indicates the future.
The tense of the verb in the sentence "What are you wearing to school tomorrow?" is the present progressive tense.
To identify the tense of a verb in a sentence, follow these steps:
1. Identify the verb: In this sentence, the verb is "wearing."
2. Determine the helping verb: In this case, the helping verb is "are."
3. Note the form of the main verb: The main verb "wear" is in its present participle form, which is "wearing."
Putting it all together, the helping verb "are" combined with the present participle "wearing" indicates the present progressive tense. The present progressive tense describes an ongoing action that is happening at the present moment or a future action that is planned. In this sentence, the action of wearing clothes to school is a planned action for the future.
