Grammar Revision

Future Continuous, Future Perfect

We use the Future Continuous to talk about:

  • actions or events that will be in progress at a specific time in the future

This time next week I’ll be flying to London.

  • something that will definitely happen in the future, either because it is already planned or because it is part of a normal routine

We’ll all be using the Internet in ten years’ time.

We use the Future Perfect to talk about actions or events that will be finished before a certain time in the future

I’ll have written the report by Sunday.
