FUTURE CONTINUOUS

How to Use the Future Continuous Tense

The future continuous tense is a verb
tense that shows an action happening
over a period of time in the future. “I
will be dancing all night” is an example
of the future continuous tense, as it
indicates an action continuing over a
specific future period of time. Compare
it to this sentence, written in the simple
future tense: “I will dance.” Although
this example indicates an intention to
dance in the future, it does not refer to
a continuous action over a specific
period of time in the future.

What is the future continuous
tense?

The future continuous tense, also
known as the future progressive
tense, is a verb tense that shows
an ongoing action in the future. It
is the future version of the
present continuous tense, which
uses a similar construction.

Future continuous: I will be
watching my shows from lunch
until dinner.

Present continuous: I am
watching my shows.
