Sam ____ (study) French at university, and I hope his wish comes true.

[mialican]

These are a few questions from a test I took today and I just want to know the correct answers. Please help!
Only using future:
- Sam ____ (study) French at university, and I hope his wish comes true.
- My brother _____ (go) to Helen's party tonight. I believe he ____ (have) a great time.
- Susan ___ (get) promote next week! I won't tell her until she ____ (finish) work today, tough; I don't want her to get distracted by the news.

Make sentences with the same meaning but using modals:
-They probably haven't spent all their money.
They ____________ all their money.

Sam ____ (study) French at university, and I hope his wish comes true.

Sam hopes/wants to study French at university, and I hope his wish comes true.
You could also use "wishes" but it might sound a little awkward with the word "wish" appearing later.

- My brother _____ (go) to Helen's party tonight. I believe he ____ (have) a great time.

My brother is going/plans to go to Helen's party tonight. I believe he will have a great time

- Susan ___ (get) promote next week! I won't tell her until she ____ (finish) work today, tough; I don't want her to get distracted by the news.

Susan is getting promoted next week. I won't tell her until she finishes/has finished work today, though; I don't want her to get distracted by the news.

-They probably haven't spent all their money.
They ____________ all their money.

They probably [still] have all their money.

Make sentences with the same meaning but using modals:
-They probably haven't spent all their money.
They ____________ all their money.

They won't have spent all their money. (This expresses a greater degree of certainty than the original)

It would have been more helpful if you had given us the answers you gave on the test!

I didn’t know the answers that’s why I am asking here..
For the modal verb question I put ,,They may not have spent all their money”.

I didn’t know the answers. That’s why I am asking here.

That's not the point. It's better for you to tell us what you wrote when you took the test (unless you left all those questions unanswered!) That would have given us an idea of your level and we might have spotted where you need extra help. Just giving us a list of questions and asking for the answers isn't a good way for you to learn.

Susan is getting promoted next week. I won't tell her until she finishes/has finished work today, though; I don't want her to get distracted by the news.

Are you sure this is correct? We can only use future.
Are these answers using present for future plans? Because I don’t think I’d be allowed to write that. Could you explain?

They probably [still] have all their money.

Where’s the modal verb here?

I left them unanswered.

Oh ok. I didn't remember what a modal verb was. Look at 5jj's answer then.

Are you sure this is correct? We can only use future.

"Is getting promoted" refers to the future. You could probably say "She will get promoted next week" but that doesn't sound as natural as "She is getting promoted".

That's a very unhelpful instruction. Are you sure that those are the exact words used?

 

[Tarheel]

There are quite a few things ESL learners study that native speakers barely have any familiarity with if they know them at all. For example, there's modal verbs. (I have to relearn them every time it comes up.)

I remember that in grammar school a long time ago we studied "helping verbs," but I don't think that's the same thing.

What's my point? Well, I think I've forgotten what it was.

 

[mialican]

That's a very unhelpful instruction. Are you sure that those are the exact words used?

Unfortunately, yes. That’s why I am struggling with these. I have ideas how I would answer them, but they don’t fit accordingly to the condition.

 

[emsr2d2]

I left them unanswered.

OK; you should have made that clear in post #1.

 

[emsr2d2]

The simple fact is that it's impossible to put a future tense/voice word in every one of those gaps. Some, yes. All, no.
