Here is a chart to show how to form the future progressive tense:
| Pronoun | Auxiliary verb (will) | Verb "to be" | Present participle |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | will be | am | working |
| You | will be | are | working |
| He/She/It | will be | is | working |
| We | will be | are | working |
| They | will be | are | working |
The future progressive tense is used to talk about ongoing actions that will be in progress at a specific point in the future. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the verb "to be" in the present tense, and the present participle (-ing) form of the main verb.
Examples:
- I will be working on my project all night.
- She will be studying for her exam tomorrow.
- We will be driving to the beach all day.
- They will be cooking dinner when we arrive.
