Answers
Answer:
The future continuous or the future progressive tense represents an action taking place at some time in future and is used to discuss an event that will happen in the future for a specific amount of time. It is also used to tell about a planned future event.
However, future continuous tense is less common in use. Most times simple future and future continuous forms are used interchangably.
The verb in the future continuous tense is made of two parts:
The future tense form of verb ‘to be’ – will be
‘ing’ affixed to the base verb.
Sentences in the future continuous form have a specified structure:
The affirmative sentence structure
Subject + future tense form of verb ‘to be’ + base verb+ing
Example: She (subject)+ will (future tense form of ‘to be’)+ go (base-verb)+ing
She will be going to school, by this time next week.
Negative sentence structure:
Subject+ future tense form of verb ‘to be’ + not + base verb + ‘ing’
Example: She will not be going to school by this time next week.
Interrogative structure:
Future tense form of verb ‘to be’ + subject + base verb + ing + Question tag
Example: Will she be going to school by this time next week?
