The future continuous tense, also known as the future progressive tense, is used to describe actions or events that will be happening at a specific time in the future. It is formed using the auxiliary verb will followed by the present participle of the main verb (which is typically formed by adding -ing to the base form of the verb).

I will be eating breakfast at 7:00 AM. (The speaker will be in the process of eating breakfast at 7:00 AM in the future.)

She will be writing a letter at 3:00 PM. (The speaker will be in the process of writing a letter at 3:00 PM in the future.)

Here are some more examples of sentences in the future continuous tense:

They will be having a party when we arrive.
We will be watching a movie when the power goes out.
He will be studying for his exams when I call him.
I will be waiting for the bus when it starts raining.

Overview

Formation of Past Continuous

#1. The Future Continuous is formed by means of the Future Indefinite of the auxiliary verb to be and Participle I of the notional verb.

#2. In the interrogative form, the first auxiliary verb is placed before the subject. And in the negative form, the negative particle not is placed after the first auxiliary verb.

Affirmative Interrogative Negative
I shall be reading
He will be reading
She will be reading
We shall be reading
You will be reading
They will be reading
Shall I be reading?
Will he be reading?
Will she be reading?
Shall we be reading?
Will you be reading?
Will they be reading
I shall not be reading
He will not be reading
She will not be reading
We shall not be reading
You will not be reading
They will not be reading

#3. The contracted affirmative forms are:

I’ll be reading

He’ll be reading

The contracted negative forms are:

I shan’t be reading

He won’t be reading

#4. The negative-interrogative forms are:

Shall I not be reading?

Shan’t I be reading?

Will he not be-reading?

Won’t he be reading?

Use of Future Continuous

The future continuous tense is often used to describe ongoing actions or events that will be happening at a specific time in the future. It can also be used to describe temporary actions or events that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.

#1. The Future Continuous is used to denote an action that will be going on at a definite moment in the future.

I wonder whether we shall ever arrive at a decision. I am sure the next time you call we shall still be wavering(Collins)

 The definite moment is indicated either by another future action expressed by a verb in the Present Indefinite or by an adverbial phrase.

shall already be working when you returnAt 12 o’clock shall still be working.

The definite moment is often not expressed but is understood from the situation.

I am sure you won’t be able to speak to him, he will be working.

#2. The Future Continuous can have a modal coloring: it can denote an action that is sure to take place, often independently of the will of the speaker and the doer of the action.

I feel I shall be asking you the same question tomorrow.

But my dear Ann Veronica, you will be getting into debt. (Wells)
