Future Continuous or Future Simple
We use the Future Simple (will + infinitive without to) to indicate a personal decision at the moment of speaking:
OK, I’ll see you this evening.
In the Future Continuous, the activity has already been decided:
This
time tomorrow I will
lie
on the beach.
This time tomorrow I’ll be lying on the beach.
We’ll be staying here until next weekend.
I’ll be driving to Madrid next week so I can give you a lift if you like.
The Future Simple in questions can sound less polite than the Future Continuous. Compare:
Will you drive me to the airport?
Will you be driving me to the airport? (= more polite)
1. Put the verbs in brackets into the appropriate future form, using will + infinitive or the future continuous.
