In the sum­mer ho­li­days Lisa (work) in a litt­le Cafe, cal­led La Perla, in Pe­ru­gia in Italy. She (stay) there for three weeks and has al­re­a­dy booked an ac­com­mo­da­ti­on where she (live).

In her free­time she (lay) at the beach and enjoy the warm weather and water. She (visit) some fri­ends in the ne­ar­by city. Maybe she (take) the train one day and meet her aunt at a shop­ping cent­re. Lisa (take) part in an art class at the mu­se­um of fine arts. Hope­ful­ly she (im­pro­ve) her ita­li­an know­ledge.

Cir­cle the right ans­wer.

1. Plea­se don´t dis­turb us today bet­ween 8:00 and 9:00 clock, we (will have , will be ha­ving) an im­portant mee­ting.

2. Mar­cus (will leave , will have left) by next week.

3. By the end of the month, I (will have been stu­dy­ing , will be stu­dy­ing) Latin for three years.

4. Next time Jakob goes out he (will have been wea­ring , will be wea­ring) a suit.

5. I (will have worked , will have been working) in this shop for 15 years when I re­ti­re.

Simp­le Pre­sent

So­me­times we can also use the Simp­le Pre­sent to ex­press so­me­thing that is hap­pe­ning in the fu­ture.

E.g.: The train lea­ves at 9.45 o clock.
