Past Perfect Progressive I had been playing basketball when Mary came.
A continuous action that was completed sometime in the past falls under Past Perfect Continuous tense. Such sentences are framed by using the modal, 'had' + 'been' + the present participle of the verb (-ing).
Structure:
Subject + had + been + Verb (ing) + object
Example:
I had been playing the guitar all morning.
Simple Future Tense
This tense is used for those sentences which refer to the actions which will occur later, in future. This requires a future tense auxiliary verb even though the verb would be unmarked.
Examples:
You will be done before me.
She will not come tomorrow.
Will you come to play with me after school?
Structure:
'will' + 'be' + present participle of the verb (ing).
Construction
Use first form of the verb (+ing)
1st and 2nd person — ‘Shall be’
3rd person — ‘Will be’
However, nowadays this distinction of 'will' and 'shall' is not followed. Instead, 'will' is used wherever absolute conviction is required to be expressed while the usage of 'shall' depends on individual writing style.
Examples:
We assume that our representative will be winning the elections that are to be held at the end of April.
Today, she will be walking all the way to her house from her office.
I will be watching the new movie next week.
