10mins: Review: Future continuous tenses

Future continuous - (will + be + present participle) something predicted to happen at a particular time or over a particular period in the future:

Ex: I’ll be studying really hard during the semesters

Future perfect - (will have + past participle) A prediction about an action we expect to be completed by a particular time in the future.

Ex: By the time you come, I’m sure I’ll have gotten to know the city really well.

Be to + infinitive - used to talk about formal plans, rules and instructions.

Ex: students are expected to hand in project reports at the end of the semester.

Future in the past -

I was going to see that new film, but it wasn’t showing in a nearby theatre. (a plan that didn’t happen)

I knew I would be feeling awful by the end of the flight. (a prediction made in the past)

**We can use the future continuous, future perfect and future perfect continuous to say what we believe or imagine to be true.
