FUTURE PROGRESSIVE TENSE by Adrian Cedeño https://padlet.com/mysteryadry50/ud3zk5b4iww0qfhb Dear students, to conjugate a verb in the future continuous tense, we add the auxiliary "to be" to the auxiliary "shall" or "will" plus the ending "ing" at the end of the verb to be conjugated. en-us 2020-12-26 17:42:57 UTC 2026-01-04 10:11:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f587.png The future progressive tense, also known as the future continuous tense, is used to indicate a future event that will be ongoing (or “progressive”). This construct requires the use of “to be,” as well as the verb with an -ing ending. It follows a general formula of will + to be + verb (ending in -ing). mysteryadry50 https://padlet.com/mysteryadry50/ud3zk5b4iww0qfhb/wish/1042458821 2020-12-26 18:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mysteryadry50/ud3zk5b4iww0qfhb/wish/1042458821 EXERCICE mysteryadry50 https://padlet.com/mysteryadry50/ud3zk5b4iww0qfhb/wish/1042459367

Each of the examples above indicate statements that are declarative sentences. That is, they’re simply making a statement or, perhaps, answering a question. But, the future progressive tense may also be used to pose a question. The formula for these is will + subject + be + verb (ending in -ing). Here are two examples:

  • Will you be eating a plant-based diet in two months?
  • Will he be asking for forgiveness in a year?
  • Will Joanne be coming home for the holidays?
  • Will we be flying over the Atlantic soon?
  • Will the amusement park be increasing ticket prices later this year?
