🔥 5 Ways to Use The Future Continuous Tense in English

A lot of students have commented requesting a lesson about the future continuous tense... So here it is! 😀
You probably know that the present continuous tense looks like this:
I AM working
I AM leaving
To form the future continuous, we simply change I AM → I WILL BE, so it looks like this:
I WILL BE working
I WILL BE leaving
It couldn't be simpler!
The tricky part, as always, is knowing when to use this tense, so in today's lesson I'm going to teach you the 5 different ways we use the future continuous.
As always, leave me a comment on the video to tell me one sentence using this tense. It's always a good idea to practice what you learn as soon as you've watched the lesson! 👍

1. When we’re describing a situation when a specific moment the future:
- I’ll be watching the game at 9pm
- This time next week I will be travelling to Mexico
2. Predicting or guessing about future events.
- You’ll be feeling tired after that holiday.
- I will be sleeping when you arrive.
3. In the interrogative form, the future continuous can be used to ask politely for information about the future:
- How many nights will you be staying?
- Will your boyfriend be coming to the wedding?
4. To talk about continuous events that we expect to happen in the future:
- I’ll be seeing Pete tomorrow so I’ll ask him then.
- Next year I’ll be working for a different company
5. When used with "still", to talk about events that are already happening now and that we expect to continue for a long time into the future:
- He’ll still be living with his parents when he’s 50
- You’ll still be eating that bowl of spaghetti at bedtime

[@tommyrivas2377]

Thank you very much for teaching us. Cheers from El Salvador, Central America.

[@gallomphrattlebone329]

Could you get a little deeper into the idea of using will future progressive as a means of politeness? Like in "will you be needing anything else?" versus "will you need anything else?". There is no such grammar structure in German. We simply add a "please" to the sentence instead of using a will future continuous. Hence, it's a little tricky for us Germans to know when and how to use the will future progressive in order to be polite. So... Is the expression "Will you hand me the glass, please" really LESS polite than "Will you be handing me the glass?".... strange.....

[@nicolaandreini2032]

Wonderful!! Congrats greg!!

[@vladtaranenko1997]

Great video! One question please, you say: you will be feeling tired after that holidays. Why I cannot say: "you will feel tired after that holidays"?. Thank you 😊

[@thngoc45]

You're great English instructor! Could you explain when using -WILL BE + PAST PARTICIPLE? Example: It will be done tonight for you. - WILL HAVE/HAS BEEN. -WILL HAVE/HAS BEEN + PRESENT PARTICIPLE. - WOULD BE + PAST PARTICIPLE. Thank you for your teaching.

[@yoeyt]

If I were you I would explain the differences when the simple future tense is used. For example How long will you stay ? vs how long will you be staying? I found that is one of the weaknesses that most of the teachers are having in teaching grammar.

[@MERKYRIY-fn5rw]

Were you 😂😂😂

[@CosmicFearGarou-kd3qr]

​@@MERKYRIY-fn5rw It would be better if you deleted your comment.

[@Feelelegant679]

​@@MERKYRIY-fn5rw"were" has been used for imaginary and unrealistic event

[@GyanodayPublicSchoolBhitari]

How long will you stay ? (decide right now and tell me ) How long will you be staying ? ( Tell me what you have already decided )

[@mojif9995]

[@giannabei1150]

Hi, you are amazing!! Could I ask you the difference between will be doing and going to do for the future? Can I say: When I arrive at home tonight, the children will be sleeping. Or the children are going to sleep? Thanks for anything!!

We are holding an exhibition from 1-3 Dec 2021. What is the difference between the above sentences? Thank you very much.

[@sorayahtringle3580]

Tnx❤

[@juliabara8499]

What’s the difference in use when it comes to future progressive and present progressive with future meaning? In future progressive you say that you will be doing something st a specific time in the future and in the present progressive with future meaning you say that something is fixed for sure and will be happening in near future. Because if I say I am picking her up it will also be in progress in the future right? Same as I will be having coffee in an hour.What’s the difference then? 🥺 I am missing something

[@VisionDaysOfficial]

Hello Greg, please could you help me with this phrase or sentence? What does it mean exactly and how to understand it. "When´s so it goes coming back."

[@muhammadqasimkhan2129]

Sir can we use (would be) for future prediction?

[@alexandrearaujodecarvalho]

My pleasure.

[@vitalyrybin5645]

Awesome lesson, Greg. Especially 5th case of Future Continuous. I was wondering if you would create new video about "to be about to" usage and compare this conctruction with "to be to" you've describe last lesson. E.g. The asteroid is about to hit the Earth. US President is to meet with Putin.

[@faizaqanbar6954]

Thanks alot

[@Sami-fz3gj]

thank you.

[@kurumamahesh3833]

Thank you so much from India

[@valeriahusakova]

well done!

[@stanislavtrutelnitskii5350]

Please make a video how to recognize can't and can when native speakers use them. It is practically a very sattle difference.

[@dhanushiya284]

Please explain what are the different and usages of would and simple past

[@jaspreetrandhawa2434]

What is the difference between 1 and 4 ? They are quite similar

[@obijuan777]

Thanks a lot, . Could you explain to use get, for my is vey confusse

[@rinimakali5767]

Hi Greg, Isn't feel a stative verb? So we can't use it in a continuous form.

[@malihanasrat1608]

A big hello it is very interesting useful lesson thanks so much

please supply a videos about Narrative Tense

[@amittalukdar7152]

Hello! I'm Rivi from India. I often hear native English speakers say "If you would like do something " Plz tell me how much of it is correct or if it's correct at all. And even if it's, plz let me know when and where and how can we use it. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you

[@otteronline6495]

Honestly, I see no difference between uses 2 and 4 and 5. Guessing = predicting (ironic or not), couldn't we say that?

[@HaithamAmbro]

hello.. can you please make video about difference between future simple and future continuous? thank you.. just let me know

[@akbaruddin3983]

excellent

[@praveenraturi9362]

Could pls make the video on would, would be,would have etc.

[@noobbot90696]

Good day ever

[@markusschunzel9225]

Future Continuous is used also if you are guessing about a present event, for instance: "I guess, she will be sleeping."

[@user-fj6nm9sd5q]

Why in negative froms of present continuous we don't use verb with ing?

[@MaryamShaf-cx4rw]

Would you be kind enough and teach using future continuous,future perfect and future perfect continuous to make prediction about the present.

[@drawertimesd4061]

Thanks so much i had an oncoming exam and i didn't understand this , because of this video I learned so much! Thanks so much Greg you're the best! 🥰

[@luisaribeiro4551]

Thanks! Just one question... Can I use the structure "be + going to be + verb with ing" instead or even interchangeably with "will be ing" ? For example "I'll be doing my homework tomorrow" and "I'm going to be doing my homework tomorrow". Is there any difference?

[@hasithazigo4082]

Im having the same doubt, are they interchangeable?

[@mystrawberrybreadtae6710]

I think the difference between these two is being formal and informal. Be going to and present continuous are used in formal sentences and will is used in informal sentences . And I think will is 60% sure and be going to is 95% sure , that is just my opinion.

[@sgdusdm8225]

"will be doing" describes a specific moment

[@sauleimasheva5661]

As I got well they are same usages.
