This is the better answer as the context is more focused on the continuous action at a particular time.
2. If you want a coffee…
Correct!Wrong!
This is the best answer as it is conditinal and spontaneous. Usually spontaneous future actions have the contracted form of will.
3. What time...
Correct!Wrong!
Here the question is in the present simple. This signifies a future schedule event.
4. By Friday
Correct!Wrong!
This is an example of the future perfect. The person is looking at two time periods in the future - referencing the further point in the future before the nearer point in the future.
5. If you don’t finish the project by Friday…
Correct!Wrong!
This is conditional. The first conditional often uses the the contracted form of will.

Will – (The president will arrive on Thursday) – strong to definite levels of certainty
Contracted Will – (I’ll get you a coffee)– spontaneous or conditional reaction
Going to do – (I’m going to go to Spain in July) / (With these BREXIT problems, is the pound going to fall?) – long term plan or prediction
I’ll + doing – (I’ll be watching the game tonight) – focus on a specific action in the future
Present continuous – (I’m meeting my boss) – shorter-term plan – limited to certain verbs
Present simple – (the train leaves at 9 am tomorrow) – scheduled events in the future
Modals – (I might go to the theatre tonight) – used for ability, speculation and levels of certainty
Future Perfect – (The play will have started by the time we arrive) – used to talk about two differing times in the future.
It is much easier to use different future forms and be correct.I do not have a problem with WILL, but look how we cannot or do not use it in the above example.
The game starts at 7 pm, so if you want, we can meet at 6:30 at the train station. I’m meeting Mary before the game; I don’t know if she wants to see the game, I’ll ask her later. Do you know what you are doing after the game? I might go to the pub…
