a) will be raining

b) 'm preparing

c) 'm going to have / 'm having


Is it right? I hope so

Hi Valmon!
The first one is correct because it's a prediction. The second one is not. The third one has only one possible answer. What do you think it is? Try again! :)

Hello Alexandre. Unfortunately your answers aren't correct.

Let's think: If somebody's bought vegetables, it's because they're planning to do something.
Concerning the meeting, it sounds like an arrangement, doesn't it?

So how can you express these two situations in English?

Hi Carol!
You're right when you use future BE GOING TO to complete the second sentence, for it's a plan. The third one, however, is not correct.
Give it another try. :)

Let me try again

a) 'll be raining (That's ok)

b) 'm going to prepare (Thanks to carolzinha)

c) 'm having

Congratulations Valmon! That's correct. It's an arrangement, so you have to use present continuous.
