The future continuous tense active

Future Continuous утворюється з допоміжного дієслова to be в Future Indefinite та дієприкметника теперішнього часу основного дієслова:

І shall be working We shall be working

He You will be working

She will be working They will be working

It

У питальній формі допоміжне дієслово shall або will ставиться перед підметом:

Will they be working?

У заперечній формі після допоміжного дієслова shall або will вживається заперечна частка not:

They will not be working.

В усному мовленні часто вживаються ті самі скорочення, що й у Future Indefinite.

Future Continuous вживається для вираження тривалої дії, що відбуватиметься в якийсь момент або період часу в майбутньому:

Meet me at two o'clock.	Зустрінемось о другій годині.
I’II be looking out for you.	Ячекатиму на тебе.
We'll be playing all morning.	Ми будемо грати весь ранок.

У сучасній англійській мові Future Continuous часто вживається у тому ж значенні, що й Future Indefinite, тобто виражає майбутню дію:

You won't be coming back here any more.	Ви більше сюди не повернетесь.
From now on I'll be asking thousands of questions.	Віднині я буду ставити тисячі запитань.
He'll be going to school soon.	Він скоро ходитиме до школи.
