This tense focuses on the completion of an action in the future before another event or time.

Week 20: Tenses - Future Continuous: Hello, ESL learners! Welcome back to TESOLTutor. Today, we're diving into an exciting aspect of English grammar—the Future Continuous Tense.

Don't worry; it's simpler than it sounds!

By the end of this video, you'll understand how to talk about actions happening at a specific future moment.

Let's get started!

The Future Continuous Tense describes actions that will be in progress at a particular time in the future.

We create it by using the verb 'will be' and adding the base form of the verb + 'ing.'

For instance, "I will be going at 8 PM tonight."

Here, 'will be going' shows an action that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future.

Let's break it down.

The formula for the Future Continuous Tense is 'will be' + verb-ing.

It doesn't change based on the subject; it stays the same for all persons—singular or plural.

"She will be calling you on the landline."
"They will be asking questions during the interview."

We use the Future Continuous to talk about actions that will be in progress at a specific future time or duration.

Time expressions like 'at,' 'in,' or 'by' help indicate the time frame.

"He will be sleeping at midnight."
"She will be feeling better by next week."

Now, let's practice! Fill in the blanks with the correct Future Continuous form of the verbs provided. The show (start) shortly.

They (move) next month .

Great job, everyone! Today, we've learned how to construct the Future Continuous Tense and when to use it.

Remember, it's about describing ongoing actions at specific future moments.

Keep practicing with the TESOLTutor app at tesoltutor.ca, and it'll become second nature.
