Identify the complete verb: Max will be arriving on a flight this afternoon.
a)will be
b)will
c)arriving
d)will be arriving
I think the answer is d.
Right.
You are correct! The complete verb in the sentence is "will be arriving." The verb "will be" combines with the main verb "arriving" to create the future progressive tense.
To identify the complete verb in a sentence, you need to find the main verb and any helping or auxiliary verbs that go along with it. In this case, the main verb is "arriving" and the helping verbs are "will be." By combining the helping verbs and the main verb, you get the complete verb "will be arriving."
