The formation of the Future Continuous.

1. The Future Continuous is formed by means of the Future Indefinite of the auxiliary verb to be and Participle I of the notional verb.

2. In the interrogative form the first auxiliary verb is placed before the subject.

In the negative form the negative particle not is placed after the first auxiliary verb.

3. The contracted affirmative forms are:

I’ll be reading

He’ll be reading

The contracted negative forms are:

I shan’t be reading

He won’t be reading

4. The negative-interrogative forms are:

Shall I not be reading?

Shan’t I be reading?

Will he not be-reading?

Won’t he be reading?

The use of the Future Continuous.

1. The Future Continuous is used to denote an action which will be going on at a definite moment in the future.

I wonder whether we shall ever arrive at a decision. I am sure the next time

you call we shallstill be wavering. (Collins)

The definite moment is indicated either by another future action expressed by a verb in the Present Indefinite or by an adverbial phrase.

I shallalready be working when you return.

At 12 o’clock I shallstill be working.

The definite moment is often not expressed, but is understood from the situation.

I am sure you won’t be able to speak to him, he will be working.

2. The Future Continuous can have a modal colouring: it candenote an action which is sure to take place, often independently of the will of the speaker and the doer of the action.

I feel I shall be askingyou the same question tomorrow.

But my dear Ann Veronica, you will be gettinginto debt. (Wells)
