GRAMMAR REFERENCE      

1. The Future Continuous (will / shall be doing) is used to say that the action will be in progress at a given future time. The given future moment is indicated by the adverbi- al phrases of definite time such as at this time tomorrow (next week, next month etc.), at 9 o’clock on Monday etc. or is clear from situation:

· At 10 o‘clock tomorrow Ann will be working.

2. The Future Continuous is also used to talk about things which are already planned or decided:

· I will be travelling by car.

 

ous:

In many cases the Future Continuous can be replaced by the Present Continu-

· I will be travelling by car. = I am travelling by car.

In both sentences there is a plain statement of future action. however, when a more

distant or uncertain future is involved, the Future Continuous may be used instead of the Present Continuous

· He says he‘ ll be returning from abroad some time in the future.

The use of the Present Continuous here requires a statement of a much less dis- tant and uncertain arrangement or activity:

· He says he‘ s returning from abroad next month.
