Solution

To determine the correct option to fill in the blank in the sentence "when I .... the news, I will tell you!", we need to analyze the sentence structure and context.

Break Down the Problem

  1. Identify the appropriate tense that fits with “I will tell you”.
  2. Contextual understanding of when the news is received relative to telling someone.

Relevant Concepts

  • The phrase “I will tell you” indicates a future action.
  • In English, when using "when" to refer to a future event, we typically use the simple present tense for the future event.

Analysis and Detail

  1. Option (A) will get: This is not correct, as it unnecessarily applies the future tense twice.
  2. Option (B) had got: This refers to a past perfect tense which doesn't fit because the future aspect is needed.
  3. Option (C) was getting: This is past continuous, which is also not appropriate for the future context indicated by “will”.
  4. Option (D) have got: This is the present perfect tense, and while it indicates completion, it’s not aligned with the future event structure initiated by "when".

Verify and Summarize

The correct response to indicating a future event connected to when the news is received leads us to use the simple present form of “get”.

Final Answer

The correct choice is (A) will get. The complete sentence reads: "When I will get the news, I will tell you!"
