We can use the future continuous (will/won't be + -ing form) to talk about future actions that: 

  • will be in progress at a specific time in the future:

When you come out of school tomorrow, I'll be boarding a plane.
Try to call before 8 o'clock. After that, we'll be watching the match.
You can visit us during the first week of July. I won't be working then.

  • we see as new, different or temporary:

Today we're taking the bus but next week we'll be taking the train.
He'll be staying with his parents for several months while his father is in recovery.
Will you be starting work earlier with your new job?

The positive (will + be + verb-ing):

At 10 am tomorrow,

  • I will be sleeping
  • you will be working
  • she will be studying
  • it will be raining
  • he will be cooking
  • we will be eating breakfast
  • they will be travelling

In the same way as with the future simple, usually we use the short form ('ll be verb-ing) when we are speaking.

Sometimes students don't use the short form, because they are not sure how to pronounce it. Here are some examples to help.

Here's the negative:

When John gets home,

  • I will not be working (I won't be ..)
  • you will not be reading (you won't be ..)
  • he will not be cooking (he won't be ..)
  • she will not be studying (she won't be ..)
  • it will not be snowing (it won't be ..)
  • we will not be watching TV (we won't be ..)
  • they will not be sleeping (they won't be ..)

As with the positive, we usually use the short form (won't + be + verb-ing) when speaking.

Next, the question.

'Yes / no' questions:

When she arrives at the party,

  • will I be cooking?
  • will you be dancing?
  • will she be singing?
  • will he be eating?
  • will we be drinking?
  • will it be snowing?
  • will they be talking?

'Wh' questions:

Next weekend,

  • what will I be doing?
  • where will you be working?
  • how will she be travelling?
  • what will he be eating?
  • why will we be studying?
  • why will it be snowing?
  • what will they be wearing?

Our phones, laptops, refrigerators, microwaves, etc. are all examples of machines which help us in carrying out various tasks with ease. (i) Machines help us to make our work better Machines are used in all kinds of industries to carry out tasks that would take much longer for a human to do.

  Five Things You Should Not Do In Meetings 1. You should not s how up  unprepared .   To prepare  for a meeting efficiently, with your personal brand in mind , ask yourself these questions: What’s the key message I want to communicate?
