I ________ to see you tomorrow, but now I find I can't.

Solution (By Examveda Team)

We use the past continuous tense (“was coming”) to talk about a plan or arrangement that existed in the past but is no longer going to happen now.

In the sentence, the speaker is explaining that earlier they had planned to visit tomorrow, but now the situation has changed and they cannot come.

“Was coming” shows that the plan was already made before, but it has now been canceled.

The other options do not fit:

“will come” → talks about a future promise, not a canceled plan.

“come” → grammatically incorrect in this context because it doesn’t show any plan or time frame.

“am coming” → shows a current definite plan that is still happening, but in the sentence the speaker says they cannot come now.

Therefore, “was coming” is the only option that correctly expresses a past plan that is no longer possible.
