Sorry I asked this question and nobody answered. I need the answer.
Why don't you study your lesson tonight if you ... an exam tomorrow?
a) are having b) will have
Here both choices show future. Which one is correct?
Thanks

Because the exam is already scheduled, the prersent tense or present progressive is better:

are having or have
