Hi Mentors,
Could you help me to complete the sentence below please.
Which one do you think is the better answer?
Jason __________________ dinner next Saturday.
(a) will have
(b) is having
Thank you so much!
Julius
Without further context, both are possible. It seems an odd remark anyway as surely Jason would have dinner pretty much every day. If this is a test question, it’s not a well thought out one.
Thank you Beeesnees, 
Hello friends, could you give a de tail information about why do we use PASSIVE tense instead of active tense?
Hello Ali,
Can I correct this sentence what you had written?
1."detail " here isn’t good word-anyway.
-Can you give me a piece of information…is the most frequent with the word of information
… can you give me some information -(main clause)
…can you give information about
…can you tell me something about…
2. after “why” you don’t have to use the inversion again because it is a dependent clause and the continuation of the main clause.
3. passive ‘tense’ doesn’t exist only passive voice/mood.
There are a lot of variations of asking information. I tried to correct your sentence.
“Hello friends, could you give me some information when we use the PASSIVE voice instead of the ACTIVE voice.”
1.You have to read the verb tenses on the link:

When do I use passive voice?
2.In some sentences, passive voice can be perfectly acceptable. You might use it in the following cases:
[u]The person is unknown[/u]:
This beautiful house was built 200 years ago.
[u]The person is irrelevant:[/u]
An oak tree had been planted in the park.
[u]You want to be vague about who is responsible:[/u]
The window had been broken.
[u]You are talking about a general truth:[/u]
Copernicus' calculations were discussed
You want [u] to emphasize the person or thing[/u] acted on. For example, it may be your main topic:
[u]The discovery of penicillin[/u] is attributed to Scottish scientist and Nobel laureate Alexander Fleming in 1928.
You are writing in a scientific genre that traditionally relies on passive voice. Passive voice is often preferred in lab reports and scientific research papers, most notably in the Materials and Methods section:
The water will be changed into vapor on 100 degrees Celsius.
We usually use active voice. The active voice can be transformed passive voice if the sucject will be the object of passive voice and the object will be the subject of passive voice. and very important that the verb should be transitive. Only those sentences can be transformed in which the verb is transitive.
Let’s see.
Activ:
I cooked a good soup.-active
(I-subject) (soup-object) (verb: cooked) we change the subject and object. What was a subject in the active voice it will be an object in the passive voice. And of course what was the object in the active voice it will be subject in the passive voice.
The verb :the verb of active voice receives the helping verb be in conjugated form + the past participle of the given verb.
[/u] if you write who is/was/ will be done the action you put : by me/by Ali/by the teacher etc
In the passive voice the verb is:
I cooked a good soup.-active (past tense)
A good soup was cooked by me.-passive
I cook a good soup.-active (present tense)
A good soup is cooked by me.-passive
I will cook a good soup.-active (future tense)
A good soup will be cooked by me.-passive
This was only a little help. You can find a lot of things about passive voice on the Forum also.
Here,you can find almost everything what you have to know about passive voice.

Alan sent to us a very important comment I pass it to you. It is an answer for your question.
‘I’d like to add some comments to this topic on the passive. The question is really why we use it, and when it would be unusual to use it. If we take this sentence: The Romans built this road and turn that into the passive: This road was built by the Romans, we are putting the emphasis on the action of ‘building’ rather than on 'the Romans.’ Generally we use the passive (the passive is used) when we want to stress what has happened or what someone has done rather than who/what actually completed the action. In other words the sentence ‘I have eaten all the cakes’ doesn’t really need to be turned into the passive because it makes perfect sense in the active form with an equal balance between the subject ‘I’ and the action ‘have eaten.’"
