THE STRUCTURE

Will/shall + be + V.ing

FUNCTIONSThe future continuous refers to an unfinished action or event that will be in progress at a time later than now. The future continuous is used for quite a few different purposes.The future continuous can be used to project ourselves into the future.

EXAMPLES1.He'll be coming to the meeting, I expect.2.I guess you'll be feeling thirsty after working in the sun.3.You'll be missing the sunshine once you're back in England.

In the interrogative form, the future continuous can be used to ask politely for information about the future.

FUTURE IN THE PAST

Future in the Past is used to express the idea that in the past you thought something would happen in the future. It does not matter if you are correct or not. Future in the Past follows the same basic rules as the Simple Future. "Would" is used to volunteer or promise, and "was going to" is used to plan. Moreover, both forms can be used to make predictions about the future.

would as the past tense of will.Wouldn’t as the past tense of won’t.1.He thought he would buy one the next day.2.He skipped so many classes. But he would regret it later.3.Praew promised that she wouldn’t be late.

was, were + going to as the past tense of be + going to.1.It was Friday. We were going to set off the next day.2.I was going to gat a driver’s license, but I failed the color blindness test.

was, were + to inf. as the past tense of be + to inf.1.I thought we would no longer be friends because we were to spend 4 years at different school.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS?

Future Perfect Continuous has two different forms: "will have been doing " and "be going to have been

doing." Unlike Simple Future forms, Future Perfect Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.

NOTE: It is possible to use either "will" or "be going to" to create the Future Perfect Continuous with little or no difference in meaning

FORM FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS WITH "WILL"

subject + will have been +

present participle

FORM FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS WITH “BE GOING TO”

am/is/are + going to have been + present

participle

EXAMPLES• I will have been waiting here for three hours by six

o'clock.• You will have been waiting for more than two hours

when her plane finally arrives.• Next year he will have been working here for four

years.

• You are going to have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives.• Are you going to have been waiting for more than two

hours when her plane finally arrives?

HOW TO USE?

USE 1 Duration Before Something in the Future

We use the Future Perfect Continuous to show that something will continue up until a particular event or time in the future. "for two weeks," and "since Friday" are all durations which can be used with the Future Perfect Continuous.

EXAMPLES • I will have been talking for over an hour by the time Eye

arrives.

• She is going to have been working at that company for three years when it finally closes.

• How long will you have been studying when you graduate?

USE 2 CAUSE OF SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE

Using the Future Perfect Continuous before another action

in the future is a good way to show cause and effect.

EXAMPLES• Chanyeol will be tired when he gets home because he will have been jogging for over an hour.

• kris's English will be perfect when he returns to china because he is going to have been living in the Canada for over two years.
