Practice Future Continuous Tense | Basic English Grammar Course

Hi, everybody.

I'm Esther.

Let's start a checkup for the future continuous tense.

Take a look at the first sentence.

It says, ‘They _blank_ at school tomorrow.’

I want you to use ‘will' and then the verb ‘study’, for this tense.

Remember, in the future continuous tense,

no matter what the subject, we say ‘will be’ and then verb +ing.

So the correct answer for this sentence is ‘they will be studying’

‘They will be studying at school tomorrow.’

The next sentence says.

‘Jesse _blank_ a TV show later.’

Here, instead of ‘will’ try to use ‘be going to be’.

‘Jesse _blank_ watch a TV show later.’

I want you to use the verb ‘watch’.

So, Jessie is a ‘he’ or it can be a ‘she’.

Sometimes the name is used for a boy or a girl.

Either way I need to use the ‘be’ verb – ‘is’.

‘Jesse is going to be’

and then we need verb +ing.

‘Jesse is going to be watching a TV show later.’

The next sentence, I want you to find the mistake.

‘We willn’t be studying at the library today.’

‘We will not …’

What's the contraction for ‘will not’?

Well it definitely isn't ‘willn’t’.

The contraction is ‘won't’.

‘We won't be studying at the library today.’

And finally, ‘Sally and I will be meet our friends soon.’

Remember, we need ‘will be’ and then verb +ing.

So the correct answer is,

‘Sally and I will be meeting our friends soon.’

Good job, everyone.

Let's move on.

Now, let's move on to the next checkup of the future continuous tense.

Take a look at the first sentence.

It says, ‘He _blank_ at the door when the movie ends.’

I want you to use ‘will’ and the verb ‘wait’.

Remember, for this tense, we need ‘will be’ and then verb +ing,

so the correct answer is,

‘He will be waiting at the door when the movie ends.’

The next sentence says, ‘We are not …’ so this is a negative,

‘_blank_ the play when he performs’.

Here, instead of ‘will’, I want you to use ‘be going to be’ and the verb ‘see’.

We already have part of that phrase for you.

‘We are …’, here's the ‘be’ verb, ‘not’

so this is negative.

And then we say ‘going to be’

and then verb +ing.

‘We are not going to be seeing the play when he performs.’

Now find the mistake in this sentence.

‘They won't be stay at home when the delivery man visits.’

‘They won't be’

That's correct in the negative form.

However, we need verb +ing.

‘They won't be staying at home when the delivery man visits.’

And finally, ‘Terry is going to working when the manager arrives’.

‘Terry’ is a ‘he’ or ‘she’ so ‘is’ is the correct ‘be’ verb to use.

‘going to’ that's also correct.

What we're missing here is ‘be’.

‘Terry is going to be working when the manager arrives.’

Good job, everybody.

Let's move on.
