Rachel, you must stop using the word possible. It is clear to me that your use of the word 'possible' is different from other members' use of the word. This is leading to a lot of unnecessary confusion.
4. Does your son learn to drive next year? I don't think this one is possible.
All are possible. #4 is not very likely, but it could be said in some contexts.
The exercise also gives present perfect as an opion. Would it be possible to use the present perfect in any of them? I don't think so. I don't think even future perfect is possible.
It lists different tenses and asks to use the correct form. Present perfect is not possible but with the future perfect is this sentence possible? 'will your son have learnt how to drive by next year?'
Its possible.
Most of the time there is no context in exercises and there is more than one possible answer.
In some of my sentences it was not possible. In 'What does your daughter do tonight?' It wasn't.
But in 'Does your son learn how to drive next year?' It was possible.
It's possible in an unlikely context involving a habitual event with the new boyfriend.
Unlikely but possible in some contexts as Piscean said.
