What is Future Continuous Tense?

First and foremost, you should know that the future continuous tense is a verb tense. Therefore, it is quite suitable to indicate an action that will occur in the future and will continue for a period of time. It also helps you to express events that may happen at a specific time or over a specific duration in the future. 

As for the formula, the formation of Future Continuous Tense consists of the auxiliary verb “will” or “shall” with “be” and the present participle (V1+-ing) of the main verb.

The Future Continuous Tense Structure is similar yet slightly different to that of the Present and Past Continuous Tense. Thus, you need to go through the following rule to form a continuous tense:

RULE: Subject + will/shall + be + present participle(V1+ing) + the rest of the sentence

EXAMPLE: They will be playing football tomorrow evening.
