The future continuous is used to express processes that will or won’t be happening in the future. There are two ways to form these, with the use of “will” and with the use of “going to be.”

The type with “will” is constructed like this: will be + present participle.

Interrupted Action in the Future.

Use the Future Continuous to show that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.

Examples:

I will be working when she arrives tonight.
I will be waiting for you when your train arrives.
I am going to be staying at the Hilton hotel, just in case anything happens and zou need to contact me.
She will be studying this afternoon, so she will not see Paula when she arrives

Specific Time as an Interruption in the Future

In the first use, described above, the Future Continuous is interrupted by a short action in the future. In addition to using short actions as interruptions, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.

Examples:

• At 11 am, I am going to be eating lunch.

I will be in the process of eating lunch.

• At midnight tonight, we will still be driving home from holiday.

We will be in the process of driving home.




Parallel Actions in the Future

When you use the Future Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions will be happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.








Examples:

I am going to be watching and Kate is going to be making breakfast.
Tonight, they will be eating dinner talking about their holiday, and drinking red wine.
While Simon is reading, Paula will be watching television.
