Uses (Usos): LOS MISMOS DEL PASADO CONTINUO, PERO EN EL FUTURO.

A diferencia del futuro simple, las dos formas del futuro continuo significan casi
lo mismo y son intercambiables. Tambin, los usos del futuro continuo son los mismos
del pasado continuo, pero en el futuro.
1. El futuro continuo lo utilizamos para una accin larga que pasar en el futuro y
ser interrumpida. La accin que se interrumpe est en el futuro continuo y la accin
que provoca la interrupcin est en el presente simple.
Ejemplos:
Jose will be [Joses going to be] watching the news when you call.
o (Jose estar mirando las noticias cuando le llames.)
Will it be [Is it going to be] raining when l leave?
o (Estar lloviendo cuando salga?)
I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight.
I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives.
I am going to be staying at the Madison Hotel, if anything happens and you
need to contact me.
He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she
arrives.
2. Se usa el futuro continuo para hablar sobre acciones en un tiempo especfico en
el futuro.
Ejemplos:
Paula will be [Paulas going to be] living in Spain next April.
o (Paula estar viviendo en Espaa el prximo abril.)
Well still be working [Were still going to be working] at 10 oclock

tomorrow night.
o (Todava estaremos trabajando a las 10 maana por la noche.)
Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner.
I will be in the process of eating dinner.
At midnight tonight, we will still be driving through the desert.
We will be in the process of driving through the desert.
Nota: Hay que tener en cuenta que hay verbos (STATIVE VERBS) que no solemos
usar en los tiempos continuos.
3. Se usa el futuro continuo para dos acciones que ocurrirn al mismo tiempo en el
futuro.
I am going to be studying and he is going to be making dinner.
Tonight, they will be eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.
While Ellen is reading, Tim will be watching television.

Notice "is reading" because of the time clause containing "while.")
4 Atmosphere in the Future

In English, we often use a series of Parallel Actions to describe atmosphere at a
specific point in the future.
Example:
When I arrive at the party, everybody is going to be celebrating. Some will be

dancing. Others are going to be talking. A few peoplewill be eating pizza, and
several people are going to be drinking beer. They always do the same thing.
REMEMBER No Future in Time Clauses

Like all future tenses, the Future Continuous cannot be used in clauses beginning
with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if,
unless, etc. Instead of Future Continuous, Present Continuous is used.

Examples:
While I am finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Correct
While I am going to be finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner.
AND REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs / Mixed Verbs

It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any
continuous tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for Mixed Verbs cannot be
used in continuous tenses. Instead of using Future Continuous with these verbs, you
must use Simple Future.
Examples:
Jane will be at my house when you arrive. Correct
Jane will be being at my house when you arrive.
ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always,
only, never, ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:
You will still be waiting for her when her plane arrives.
Will you still be waiting for her when her plane arrives?
You are still going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives.
Are you still going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives?
ACTIVE / PASSIVE
Examples:
At 8:00 PM tonight, John will be washing the dishes. Active
At 8:00 PM tonight, the dishes will be being washed by John. Passive
At 8:00 PM tonight, John is going to be washing the dishes. Active
