2. FUTURE CONTINUOUS |
| To talk about the future we use will. | |
more information: episode 2 - The Future Tense |
|
| To talk about actions that are continuing we use the ing form of verbs. | |
more information: episode 13 - Present Continuous |
|
| We use will with a verb that has the ing ending to talk about things in the future that will happen more than once, or all of the time. I will be studying all day tomorrow. This is called the future continuous tense. |
|
| ANNE I’ll be thinking of you all the time. |
|
| She doesn’t say ‘I will think of you’. This means just one time. Here are more examples of the future continuous. |
|
| SARAH I’ll be expecting a postcard from you Anne, so you’d better send me one. |
