You've learned about the present continuous, you've learned about the past continuous...guess what? Now it's time for the future continuous! Can you guess how it is formed?
- subject + "will be" + present participle (-ing)
| Subject | Will Be | Verb + ing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| I, You, He, She, It, We, They, You | will be | running | in the race tomorrow. |
The easy thing about the future continuous is that the verb forms never change, no matter who the subject is!
The future continuous can also be used to make negative sentences.
| Subject | Will NOT Be | Verb + ing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| I, You, He, She, It, We, They, You | will not be | using | the computer after school. |
