In English there are many different ways to talk about the future. What can you remember about the future continuous tense with will? Here are ten sentences to see if you can remember how to form this tense. When you have completed the exercise, see if you can explain for other learners when and why we use this tense. Good luck!
Subject + will + be + base verb + ing
"I will be sleeping at midnight."
For negative sentences use won't (will not) instead of will:
"I won't be sleeping at midnight."
We use this tense to talk about an action that will be happening at a particular moment/time in the future. The action will have already started before that that moment/time, but will not finish at that time.
For example, I start work at 9am and finish at 5pm so if someone asks me, "What will you be doing at 10am on Monday?" I can answer, "I will be working at 10am on Monday". That action (working) will have started before that time and will finish much later.
