 ACTIVITY3 :   The Future Continuous Tense – What Is It?

The future continuous tense is generally used to represent an event or action that is happening at a certain point in time in the future. The tense is also called the future progressive tense, as it denotes an action or event that is progressing or continuing at a particular time in the future.

Have a look at how different dictionaries define the future continuous tense in order to have a much better idea of what it is.

Definition of the Future Continuous Tense

The future continuous tense, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is defined as a tense that is used to “refer to temporary actions and events that will be in progress at a particular time in the future.” According to the Collins Dictionary, the future continuous tense is used “to suggest that something is about to happen or will happen at some time that is not clear or precise.”

Structure and Formula of the Future Continuous Tense

To have a more detailed idea of the future continuous tense, take a look at the formula and structure of the tense.

The formula of the future continuous tense is as follows:

Subject + Helping verbs (will + be) + present participle form of the verb + the rest of the sentence

Now, analyse the structure of the future continuous tense to see how the sentence structure changes when used as a positive, negative, interrogative and negative interrogative sentence.

Structure of Future Continuous Tense
Positive	Negative	Interrogative	Negative Interrogative
Subject + Helping verb (will + be) + Past participle form of the verb + the rest of the sentence	Subject + Will not be/Won’t be + Past participle form of the verb + the rest of the sentence	Will + Subject + Be + Past participle form of the verb + the rest of the sentence	Will + Subject + not + be + Past participle form of the verb + the rest of the sentence (or) Won’t + Subject + be + Past participle form of the verb + the rest of the sentence
For example: Balu will be performing at the International event in Australia.	For example: Balu will not be performing at the International event in Australia. (or) Balu won’t be performing at the International event in Australia.	For example: Will Balu be performing at the International event in Australia?	For example: Will Balu not be performing at the International event in Australia? (or) Won’t Balu be performing at the International event in Australia?

Rules and Points to Remember When Using the Future Continuous Tense

Like the present continuous tense and the past continuous tense, the future continuous tense consists of two helping verbs – ‘will’ and ‘be’ followed by the past participle form of the main verb. The past participle of the main verb can be formed by adding an ‘ing’ to the end of the verb. The tense can be made negative by adding ‘not’ after ‘will’. When used in the interrogative form, the sentence starts with ‘will’ followed by the subject, ‘be’ and the past participle form of the verb.

Furthermore, always keep in mind that the future continuous tense can be used only with action verbs and never with stative verbs. This is mainly because only action verbs can be done for a particular duration. Also, remember that the action mentioned in the future continuous tense would have started earlier but would not have been completed at that particular point in time.

What Do You Use the Future Continuous Tense For?

The future continuous tense can generally be used to,

• Denote an action that takes place at a specific time in the future.
• Also used to express an action that will take place over a period of time and does not happen all at once in that time.
• To compare between the present and the future.
• To indicate that there is more than one action taking place at the same point in time in the future.

Examples of the Future Continuous Tense

Now, take a look at the following examples to have an in-depth analysis of how the future continuous tense can be used in sentences.

Denoting an action that takes place at a point of time in the future

• I will be watching the new marvel movie along with my brother at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow.
• Susan will not be sleeping at that time.

Expressing an action that will take place over a period of time and not all at once

• The judges will be announcing the winners of the competition at 5 p.m on Tuesday.
• According to the plan, we will be meeting at the park around 11 a.m.

Comparing between the present and the future

• This time next month, we will be travelling to Canada.

బావి తెచ్చిన బడి..

 

WE LOVE READING SUMMER ACTIVITIES 2024- TODAY ENGLISH  MORAL STORY : The Cat’s Judgement

 

A partridge lived in a nest beneath a large peepul tree. She had been living there for many years. One day she left home to look for food. She travelled to a corn field far away and stayed in the field for many days.

While the partridge was away, a rabbit found her empty nest and made it his home. When the partridge returned, she was surprised and angry to find the rabbit living there. She told the rabbit to leave, but the rabbit refused saying that it was no longer her home since she had not been living there for many days and he had found it empty.

The rabbit and the partridge argued loudly for some time. Many animals and birds gathered around. They heard both sides of the argument but were unable to decide whom the house belonged to. They told the partridge and the rabbit to take the dispute to a judge.

The partridge and rabbit travelled far and wide, finally reaching the banks of the Ganges. There at a distance, they saw a tom-cat. However, they were scared to approach him. The tom-cat was very wicked. He quickly closed his eyes, stood up on his hind legs and started praying at the top of his voice. The partridge and the rabbit were puzzled as they were seeing a holy cat for the first time. They decided he would be a good judge for their dispute.

When the tom-cat finished his prayers and opened his eyes, the partridge explained the entire argument to the cat. When she had finished speaking, the rabbit told his part of the story.

The cat sat quietly for a minute and then said, “I am very old and cannot hear or see properly. Can you both come a little closer and tell me the whole story again?”

The partridge and the rabbit now trusted the tom-cat and moved closer to him. As soon as they moved forward, the cat hit them hard with his paws, killed them and ate them up.
