THE FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE
a. Use:
The Future Continuous tense is used to express continuous actions which will take place in the
future.
--> Mr. Smith will be waiting for us.
--> They will be arriving tomorrow.
b. Formation
The Future Continuous of
any verb is formed from the Simple Future of the auxiliary
to be, followed by the present participle of the verb.
For instance, the Future Continuous of the verb to work
is conjugated as follows:
| I will (shall) be working |
| you will be working |
| he will be working |
| she will be working |
| it will be working |
| we will (shall) be working |
| they will be
working |
It can be seen that the Future Continuous tense
has two auxiliaries. The first auxiliary is will or
shall, and the second auxiliary is be.
c. Questions and negative statements
As
is the case with other English tenses, questions and negative
statements in the Future Continuous are formed using the first
auxiliary.
Questions are formed by placing the first
auxiliary before the subject. For example:
| Affirmative Statement |
Question |
| It will be working. |
Will it be working? |
| They will be working. |
Will they be
working? |
Negative statements are
formed by placing the word not after the first
auxiliary. For example:
| Affirmative Statement |
Negative Statement |
| It will be working. |
It will not be working. |
| They will be working. |
They will not be
working. |
Negative questions are
formed by placing the first auxiliary before the subject, and
the word not after the subject. However, when
contractions are used, the contracted form of not
immediately follows the first auxiliary. For example:
| Without Contractions |
With Contractions |
| Will it not be working? |
Won't it be working? |
| Will they not be working? |
Won't they be
working? |
