Future Continuous
Future Continuous has two different forms: "will
be doing " and "be going to be doing." Unlike Simple Future
forms, Future Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.
FORM Future Continuous with "Will"
[will be + present participle]
Examples:
•You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives
tonight.
•Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives
tonight?
•You will not be waiting for her when her plane
arrives tonight.
FORM Future Continuous with "Be Going To "
[am/is/are + going to be + present participle]
Examples:
•You are going to be waiting for her when her plane
arrives tonight.
•Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane
arrives tonight?
•You are not going to be waiting for her when her
plane arrives tonight.
REMEMBER: It is possible to use either
"will" or "be going to" to create the Future Continuous
with little difference in meaning.
