Welcome to Tense Tuesday, readers! Today we are looking at one use of the FUTURE CONTINUOUS. This tense has two forms:
WILL BE -ING
IS/AM/ARE GOING TO BE -ING
We use this tense to talk about different situations in the future. One is to talk about two actions happening at the same time in the future. In the following examples, our sentence has two parts: both use the Future Continuous.
Example 1: Later tonight, she'll be watching TV and I'll be finishing my last hour at work.
Example 2: During the meeting, we will be discussing our plans for 2016, choosing a new Vice President, and voting on new company policies.
Example 3: I will not be staying at the same hotel, but she will be (staying at the hotel).
Example 4: I'll be working until late tonight and he will be partying. Life is unfair!
I hope you're not working too late this week! That's all for today. Thanks for reading!
