The train is __________ to start.

  • A.about
  • B.over
  • C.for
  • D.before

Answer: A

The word is about: The train is about to start.

Be about to + verb means that something will happen very soon, in the immediate future: the train is on the point of starting.

Over, for and before do not form this expression; the train is over to start or for to start is ungrammatical.

The expression is always followed by the base form of the verb with to: We are about to leave. The film was about to begin.
