00:01Let's move on to the future continuous.
00:04The future continuous is also called the future progressive.
00:07They are exactly the same.
00:09So here's how to form it.
00:11So you need I, the pronouns, plus will be, and then you have to add the base verb plus
00:18ing.
00:19So I will be eating, you will be eating, and so on.
00:24The negative form is will not be.
00:27I will not be eating or I won't be eating.
00:33The main use for the future continuous or progressive is quite simple.
00:38The main use is to show an action in progress at a specific time in the future.
00:45For example, I will be eating at 12.30.
00:49So on a diagram, it looks like this.
00:52So I will be eating ing, so an ongoing action, an action in progress at 12.30.
01:01At 12.30, I will be in the middle of my lunch.
01:06There are many uses for the future continuous and let's take them individually.
01:12So the first one, like we said before, here's another example.
01:17Tomorrow at 10 a.m. I will be attending a conference.
01:21So the action is in progress at a specific time, 10 a.m. tomorrow, in the future.
01:29Another example.
01:30So, but now be careful, this one is a little bit different.
01:34We will be watching TV when you arrive.
01:37When you arrive is an action, but it can also be considered a time because when you arrive
01:44is a specific time in the day.
01:47So when you arrive, we will be watching TV.
01:52Simultaneous actions, so if you take a look at the graph now, you can see that both actions
01:58are taking place at the same time.
02:01Here's an example.
02:03While you will be exercising at the gym, I will be taking a yoga class.
02:09So while you will be exercising at the gym, ongoing action, I will be taking a yoga class
02:18at the same time, ongoing action as well.
02:23Here's another example.
02:25As the teacher is explaining, the students will be taking notes.
02:29So as I explained before, you can use the present progressive is explaining as a future tense.
02:36So as the teacher is explaining, the students will be taking notes.
02:43Number three, future habits or routines.
02:46Now you can see from the graph, it's multiple events in the future.
02:52It's a habit or it's a routine in the future.
02:55For example, every Sunday, I will be baking fresh bread for breakfast.
03:02So that's kind of a promise also.
03:04But into the future, I'm not doing it right now, but I will be starting maybe next month.
03:10Every Sunday, I will be baking fresh bread for breakfast.
03:15Now that I quit my job, I will be meeting friends for coffee every day.
03:21Ah, so I just quit my job and in the very near future, I will be meeting friends for coffee
03:28every day.
03:30Future plans and intentions.
03:33Next Tuesday, I will be interviewing candidates for the new position.
03:39So on Tuesday, next Tuesday, I will be interviewing.
03:43It's a plan, it's my intention, it's on my schedule at work.
03:48Next week, I will be meeting with the new team members.
03:53Same type of thing, future plan.
03:58Number five, polite inquiries about someone's plans.
04:03This one is quite useful because it helps you to make polite questions.
04:08Will you be attending the meeting tomorrow?
04:12Ah, very nice.
04:13Will you be attending?
04:15You're inquiring about the person's plans for the future.
04:20How about this one?
04:21Will you be working late this evening?
04:24Excellent.
04:26Number six, events that are fixed or expected to happen.
04:30Okay, so you could say the city will be hosting the annual marathon in October.
04:36So the city will be hosting is an event in the future that it's already fixed.
04:42It's already been decided.
04:44So the city will be hosting the marathon.
04:47The band will be performing at the festival next weekend.
04:52Once again, it's expected to happen.
04:55Number seven, temporary actions in the future.
04:59So actions that will not last forever, just a certain time in the future.
05:06My parents are visiting, so I will be sleeping in the kitchen for the next two weeks.
05:12So the duration right here, for two weeks, I will be sleeping in the kitchen.
05:16But as soon as my parents leave, I will stop sleeping in the kitchen.
05:22He will be taking the subway to work until his car is fixed.
05:27He has a car problem and his car is being fixed at the moment.
05:32So he is taking the subway.
05:34So he will be taking the subway to work until his car is fixed.
05:38It's temporary.
05:40Future progressive.
05:42An ongoing action in the future.
05:46Here's the affirmative form.
05:47He will be cooking when you arrive.
05:50He will be cooking.
05:52Let's take a look at the diagram here.
05:54The cooking started here in the future and he will be cooking.
05:59It's an ongoing action when you arrive.
06:03So at a specific time in the future, he will be cooking.
06:08Here, there is a contraction.
06:10You could say he'll be cooking.
06:12He'll be cooking when you arrive.
06:15And one more time, they are all the same.
06:20She'll be cooking.
06:21You'll be cooking.
06:22They'll be cooking when you arrive.
06:25The negative form.
06:27He will not be cooking when you arrive.
06:30How about the contraction?
06:32He won't be cooking when you arrive.
06:35Can you guess the question form?
06:37Will he be cooking when you arrive?
06:40That's excellent.
06:42How about the negative question?
06:44Won't he be cooking when you arrive?
06:47He should be cooking when you get home, but he will not be cooking.
06:52What's wrong with him?
06:55One more time here, you can add question words.
06:59What will he be cooking when you arrive?
07:02Where will he be cooking when you arrive?
07:05Why will he be cooking when you arrive?
07:08Or why won't he be cooking when you arrive?
07:11That is the question.
