Future Continuous Tense is also known as Future Progressive Tense.

This tense is used to express an action which will continue for some time in the future. It describes the ongoing nature of an action in the future. Such an action is expected to occur and continue for some time in the future.

Unlike the Future Indefinite Tense, which simply describes an action that will occur in the future (focusing only on its completion in future rather than its continuity in future), the Future Continuous Tense emphasizes the ongoing or continued nature of an action in the future – that the action will be ongoing or in progress for some time in the future.

Example:

• I will be waiting for you tomorrow.

In this example, the speaker indicates that he will be waiting for you tomorrow, and the action is expected to continue for some time, likely until you arrive.

Main Verb:  1st form of verb + ing, e.g., going, writing, waiting.
Helping Verb: Will be

 Subject + helping verb + main verb + object.
 Subject + will be + (1st form of verb + ing) + object.

Examples:

In negative sentences, the word ‘not’ is added inside the helping verb, forming ‘will not be’.

 Subject + helping verb + not + main verb + object.
 Subject + will not be + (1st form of verb + ing) + object.

Examples:

Note: The short form of 'will not' is 'won't'. Therefore, the negative sentences can also be written with 'won't be' instead of 'will not be'. See the following example:

I will not be waiting for you.
I won't be waiting for you. .

The question sentence starts with ‘will’ and the word ‘be’ comes after the subject inside the sentence.

 Will + subject + be + (1st form of verb + ing) + object.
