QUESTÃO 2
“It is interesting to notice that, differently from Romance39 languages such as Portuguese (fará), Spanish (hará) or French (fera) the English language does not have a future tense formed by inflection, so it needs a construction with an auxiliary verb (will do, is going to do)” (KIMINAMI, 2018, p. 111).
Kiminami, Aline Yuri. Práticas Discursivas da Língua Inglesa. Maringá-Pr.: UniCesumar, 2018.

Read the following excerpt of “A Journey” by Edith Wharton.

“[…] She thought hurriedly:–“If they see I am not surprised they will suspect something. They will ask questions, and if I tell them the truth they won’t believe me–no one would believe me! It will be terrible”– and she kept repeating to herself […]”.

Considering the excerpt above, choose the correct option.

Alternativas
Alternativa 1 – The character is talking about plans that are going to happen in the future, that is why the text is written using “will” for the future tense.
Alternativa 2 – The sentence “If they see I am not surprised they will suspect something” is written in the future tense due to the use of “will”.
Alternativa 3 – The sentence “It will be terrible” is not adequate because the verb used after “will” must be written in the infinitive form with to, such as: “it will to be terrible”.
Alternativa 4 – The last sentence of the excerpt “and she kept repeating to herself” is also written in the future, although the author chose to use the present continuous tense.
Alternativa 5 – The sentence “They will ask questions, and if I tell them the truth they won’t believe me” is not adequately written because we make negative sentences with don’t and not won’t in the future tense.
