B . Future Progressive

Утвердительная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола в будущем времени (shall be, will be) и причастия настоящего времени основного глагола:

I shall be reading.

He will be reading.

В вопросительной форме первый вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим:

Will he be working?

Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи отрицания not, которое ставится после первого вспомогательного глагола:

I shall not be working

Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма
I shall be reading	Shall I be reading?	I shall not be reading
He will be reading	Will he be reading?	He will not be reading

• he whole day - весь день,

• at that time - в это время,
