d | arrive |
comment | The test sentence ‘The train from Berlin __________ (to arrive) at 11.15.’ illustrates the train timetable.When talking about schedules or timetables, we often use the present simple to express the future, to refer to a future event that is planned and is not likely to change (for example, the take-off time for a plane;The last train to Paris leaves at 00.05 from Lille.; The film starts at 19.00.; The lesson ends at 16.20.;The buses from Lille run every hour.; Monica’s favourite programme is on in an hour.). We usually also use a future phrase (expressed or understood) like tomorrow, at 7.30pm, next week. Only a few verbs are used in this way, for example: arrive, be, begin, close, come, end, finish, leave, open, return, run, start.Therefore, for the test sentence we are to choose ANSWER 1 ‘arrives’. |
