View Explanation

Explanation

The type of tense used in the given sentence is Future Indefinite.

Explanation:

The sentence "They will come here shortly" is in the future indefinite tense.

The future indefinite tense, also known as the simple future tense, is used to describe actions that will happen in the future without specifying the ongoing or continuous nature of the action. It is formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb.

In this sentence, "will come" indicates a future action (coming) that will happen shortly. The future indefinite tense is commonly used for statements about future plans, intentions, or predictions.

Present Continuous: The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are currently happening at the time of speaking. It is formed using the present tense of the verb "to be" (am, is, are) followed by the present participle of the main verb (-ing form). For example: "I am eating dinner." In the given sentence "They will come here shortly," the tense is not present continuous because it refers to a future event (coming here shortly) rather than something happening currently.

Future Indefinite: This is the correct option. The future indefinite tense, also known as the simple future tense, is used to describe actions that will happen in the future without specifying the ongoing or continuous nature of the action. It is formed using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. For example: "He will arrive tomorrow." In the given sentence, "They will come here shortly," the tense is future indefinite because it describes a future action (coming here shortly) without indicating the ongoing or continuous nature of the action.

Past Indefinite: "Past Indefinite" is not a recognized tense in English grammar. The term "Indefinite" does not refer to a specific tense. It is possible that "Past Indefinite" refers to the simple past tense, which is used to describe actions that occurred and were completed at a specific time in the past. However, this tense is not applicable in the given sentence because it does not describe a past event.

Past Continuous: The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing at a specific time in the past. It is formed using the past tense of the verb "to be" (was, were) followed by the present participle of the main verb (-ing form). For example: "She was studying when the phone rang." In the given sentence, the tense is not past continuous because it refers to a future event (coming here shortly) rather than something happening in the past.

Therefore, the correct tense used in the given sentence is Future Indefinite.

Hence option B is the correct answer.
