    Question

    Choose the option which correctly identifies the tense

    of the given sentence. Aren't they going to meet you soon?
    A Present Continuous Tense Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Past Continuous Tense Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Present Perfect Continuous Tense Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Future Perfect Continuous Tense Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    EXPLANATION: "Going to" + base verb form ("meet") indicates an intention or plan for the future, which is a hallmark of the present continuous tense. The auxiliary verb "aren't" is the negative conjugation of "are" in the present continuous tense. While the sentence might imply an immediate future event, the present continuous tense is still the grammatically correct way to express the ongoing intention or plan for that event.
