We _ a movie tonight. Want to come?
Correct answer: C. Are watching
- A. Watch
- B. Watches
- C. Are watching
- D. Have watched
Explanation
The correct answer is 'are watching' because it uses the present continuous tense to indicate an arranged or planned activity in the future. In this context, 'tonight' suggests a future event, making present continuous the appropriate choice. Other options are incorrect because:'watch' is the base form and doesn't fit the context of a future plan.'watches' is the simple present tense for third-person singular subjects and does not indicate future arrangements.'have watched' is the present perfect tense, which describes actions completed at an unspecified time before now, unsuitable for indicating a future plan.
