-Use the future continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a
shorter action in the future too.

-I am going to be waiting for you when your bus arrives.

13
USE: Specific Time as an Interruption in the Future

14
 REMEMBER: In the simple future, a specific

“
time is used to show the time an action will begin
or end. In the future continuous, a specific time
interrupts the action.
Examples:
* Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to eat dinner.
-start at 6 PM.

*Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner.

-in the process at 6 PM.

15
USE : 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.

-Tonight, they will be eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.

-I am going to be studying and she is going to be making dinner.

16
USE :Atmosphere in the Future

-In English, we often use a series of Parallel Actions to describe atmosphere at a specific point in the
future.

-When I arrive at the party, everybody is going to be celebrating; Some will be dancing
and Others are going to be talking. They always do the same thing.

17
 REMEMBER: Non-Continuous Verbs

“ It is important to remember that non-continuous

verbs cannot be used in any continuous future
tenses.

Examples:
.I will be being stressed tomorrow during my science test.
I will be stressed tomorrow during my science test.
