present continuous
future continuous
future perfect continuous
present perfect

Answer 1

The sentence 'This time tomorrow I will be playing with my friends' is in the future continuous tense.

What is the future continuous tense?

• In English Grammar, we use the future continuous tense to represent a situation that will occur at a particular time in the future.
• The sentence above indicates that the person will be playing tomorrow at a particular time hence we know that the sentence is in future continuous tense.
• Also, the formula for writing a future continuous sentence is : will/ shall + -ing form of main verb. The sentence above is written according to this formula.
• Other options, such as present continuous is not correct beause present continuous tense depicts an action that is occurring in the present but the sentence in the question shows an action that will occur in the future.
