Dear teachers,

Here is another exercise about tenses. I always have doubts about which tense to choose in some cases. Would you please tell me why some of them are not correct?

Allison has to go to a meeting which begins at 10 o'clock the following day. It (1) is going to last / will last about an hour.

Mark: (2) Shall we meet tomorrow? [Shall and not will to make a suggestion?]
Allison: Yes, but not in the afternoon. I (3) work [that's incorrect I suppose] / am working / will be working.

Mark: (4) Are you going to be free / Will you be free at 11.30?
(5) Are you seeing / Will you see / Will you be seeing Laura at work?

Allison: Yes, probably. why?

Mark: I (6) have borrowed / borrowed this CD from her. (7) Can / Could / Would you give it back to her?

Ben is on holiday and he is spending his money very quickly. If he continues like this, he (8) will spend [possible here or not?] / will have spent all his money before the end of his holiday.

Thank you again for your help.
Hela
