Unlike the future perfect used to emphasize an event or action completed before a time in the future or a specific action in the present, the future continuous emphasizes the continuity of action at the future time in question.

For example: My father will be working from 9-5 tomorrow (My father will work continuously from 9 am to 5 pm tomorrow).

=> The action of the subject “my father” takes place continuously at a specific time in the future “from 9-5 tomorrow”, so we will use the future continuous tense to express what we want to say.

Future continuous tense formula

Similar to other tenses in English, the formula of the future continuous tense is also divided into 3 structural types: Affirmative, negative and interrogative. Specifically, the formula for each type of future continuous sentence is as follows:

Note: All singular or plural subjects including “I, you, we, they, he, she, it” use the same formula.

7 most common ways to use the future continuous tense

For many English learners, the future continuous tense has a relatively abstract usage, easily causing confusion with some other basic tenses, especially the simple future tense. Below are a few common uses of the future continuous tense that you should master to apply in practice:

For example: At this time tomorrow, Binh will be walking in the park.

=> The action of “walking” of the subject “Binh” will be taking place at a specifically determined time in the future, at “this time tomorrow”. Therefore, we will use the future continuous tense to express content.

For example: Our team will be attending a conference from April 6-10 (Our team will attend a conference from April 6 to April 10).

=> The action of “attending the conference” of the subject “our group” takes place continuously during a period of time in the future (from April 6-10), so we also use the future continuous tense to describe.

• Describe actions and events that happen in parallel and are related to each other to describe a certain scene, atmosphere…

For example: On Monday, Minh will be giving a presentation and I will be meeting a client.

=> The actions “sending a presentation” and “meeting a customer” that take place simultaneously and consecutively at a time in the future are related to each other.

For example: Will you be checking in early? (Will you check soon)

For example: Tomorrow, Huy will be staying at home because of his sickness.

=> Huy is currently sick and has not recovered yet, so tomorrow he will continue to stay at home.

For example: When Minh comes tomorrow, my sister will be taking care of her son (Tomorrow when Minh comes, my sister will be taking care of her son).

=> The saying implies that tomorrow the sister's action of “taking care of her son” will happen and another action of Minh's “coming” will interrupt. Both of these actions happen in the future (tomorrow).

For example: I will be hanging out with my friends at 8 pm tomorrow.

=> The subject “I”'s going out with friends has been planned in advance and will take place at a specific time tomorrow.

Note: We do not use the future continuous tense in cases of expressing emotions, prices, expressing someone's ownership…

Signs of future continuous tense

In future continuous sentences, there are common phrases for you to recognize such as:

• In the future (in the future)

• Tomorrow (tomorrow)

• Next + time (… to): Next week, next month, next year…

• At this time/ at that time/ at this moment/ at that moment (at that time/ that moment)

• At + specific time in the future (at…): At 5 pm tomorrow (at 5 pm tomorrow).

• Words with conjectural meanings such as guest (guess), expect (hopefully)

Compare the simple future and the future continuous

The future simple and the future continuous can easily cause confusion for learners. To distinguish these two types of tenses, we rely on the purpose of describing the action or event mentioned in the sentence.

The simple future tense describes a decision made at the moment of speaking, without any premeditated intention or plan. We also use this tense form to predict unfounded actions and events. This is completely different from the 7 ways to use the future continuous tense that timhieulichsuquancaugiay.edu.vn has compiled and shared above.

Compared to the future continuous tense, the simple future has a fairly simple formula as follows:

• Affirmation: S + will + V (infinitive)

• Negative: S + will + not + V (infinitive) (will not = won't)

• Question: Will + S + V (original form)?
