The Future Continuous

§ 2.1

1. It expresses an action that will be in progress at a specified moment of time or during a certain period in the future ^[1,3]. Such a moment or period is usually indicated by:

a) an adverbial phrase:

I’ll be taking my exam at 3 tomorrow.

In two hours we’ll be flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

b) another future action introduced in the subordinate clause:

If you do this, she will be shouting at you.

The children will be sleeping when she comes.

c) the context where they are implied, they are understood from the situation the speaker is involved in:

– Where will you be at 5? – I’ll be walking past your house.

2. It is used to refer to a future activity that is part of the normal course of events or that is one of a repeated or regular series of events ^[1,7]:

Will you be driving to Glasgow, as usual?

The occurrence of such actions is expected and usually anticipated by the speaker:

By this time tomorrow I’ll be lying on the beach.

3. It can be used like the Present Continuous to refer to planned events and arranged activities, particularly in connection with travel^[1,7] (see § 2.2):

We’ll be spending the winter in Australia. (=we are spending)

4. It is used to describe simple futurity, but with a ‘ softening effect’ that takes away the element of deliberate intention often implied by will ^[1]:

I’ll work on this tomorrow. (=intention, possibly a promise)

I’ll be working on this tomorrow. (=futurity)

I won’t see him. (=refusal)

I won’t be seeing him. (=futurity)

5. It is used in polite requests, questions and in formulae of cultural communication, overall^[1,11]:

I am afraid I shall be going.

(I’ll) be seeing you! ^[2]

Will you be using your pen? May I take it?
