    Future Continuous Tense

    I will be singing

    How do we make the Future Continuous Tense?


    The structure of the future continuous tense is: subject + auxiliary verb WILL invariable will + auxiliary verb BE invariable be + main verb present participle base + ing

    For negative sentences in the future continuous tense, we insert not between will and be. For question sentences, we exchange the subject and will. Look at these example sentences with the future continuous tense: subject + + ? ? I You She We Will Will auxiliary verb will will will will you they not not auxiliary verb be be be be be be main verb working lying using having playing watching at 10am. on a beach tomorrow. the car. dinner at home. football? TV?

    When we use the future continuous tense in speaking, we often contract the subject and will: I will you will he will she will it will we will they will I'll you'll he'll she'll it'll we'll they'll

    For spoken negative sentences in the future continuous tense, we contract with won't, like this: I will not you will not he will not she will not it will not we will not they will not I won't you won't he won't she won't it won't we won't they won't

    We sometimes use shall instead of will, especially for I and we.

    How do we use the Future Continuous Tense?


    The future continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the future. The action will start before that moment but it will not have finished at that moment. For example, tomorrow I will start work at 2pm and stop work at 6pm: At 4pm tomorrow, I will be working. past present future 4pm At 4pm, I will be in the middle of working. When we use the future continuous tense, our listener usually knows or understands what time we are talking about. Look at these examples:

    I will be playing tennis at 10am tomorrow. They won't be watching TV at 9pm tonight. What will you be doing at 10pm tonight? What will you be doing when I arrive? She will not be sleeping when you telephone her. We'll be having dinner when the film starts. Take your umbrella. It will be raining when you return.
