Future continuous (future progressive)
Formation: will/shall + be + Present Participle
e.g. Don’t call me at 10 tomorrow. – Will you be sleeping at that time? – No, I won’t be sleeping, I’ll be working.
Future Continuous is used:
For an action, which will be in progress at a stated future time,
e.g. This time next week our group will be writing a grammar test.
For an action which will definitely happen in the future as the result of a routine or arrangement,
e.g. Don’t call Jane, I’ll be seeing her later, so I’ll pass the message on.
When we ask politely about someone's plans for the near future (what we want to know is if our wishes fit in with their plans.)
e.g. Will you be using the computer for long? – No. Why? – I need to correct some places in my term paper.
**TASK 58. Use the verbs in brackets in the correct future form.
