The future progressive tense, also known as the future continuous tense, is used to indicate a future

event that will be ongoing (or “progressive”). This construct requires the use of “to be,” as well as the
verb with an -ing ending. It follows a general formula of will + to be + verb (ending in -ing).
For example, “The children will be walking to school.” You can see how “will be” tells us that this is a
future event, and “walking” here indicates a continuous event.
Let’s think about simple future tense. It follows a straightforward, generally singular prediction into the
future. For example, “I will meditate tomorrow morning.” Future progressive tense serves to extend a
futuristic activity. So, “I will meditate” (single instance) becomes, “I will be meditating every morning”
(continuous activity).
In a way, the future progressive tense is used to make predictions. Perhaps they’re surefire
predictions. Perhaps they’re hopes and dreams. Here are a few samples.
 In two months, I will be eating a plant-based diet.
 By 3019, we will be driving spaceships.
 In a year, he will be asking for forgiveness.
 In an hour, we will be flying over the Atlantic.
 By then, we will be practicing yoga every morning.
 Joanne will be coming home for the holidays.
 The amusement park will be increasing ticket prices later this year.

The formula for these is will + subject + be + verb (ending in -ing). Here are two examples:

 Will you be eating a plant-based diet in two months?

 Will he be asking for forgiveness in a year?
 Will Joanne be coming home for the holidays?
 Will we be flying over the Atlantic soon?
 Will the amusement park be increasing ticket prices later this year?

Negative Form

The future progressive tense may also be used in the negative form to indicate a continuous action
will not be happening in the future. The formula will read will + not + be + verb (ending in -ing).
Here are two examples:

 I will not be eating a plant-based diet anytime soon.

 We will not be driving spaceships in 3019.
 He will not be asking for forgiveness in a year.
 Joanne will not be coming home for the holidays.
