Future Continuous Tense 将来进行时态

The Future Continuous Tense is formed by combining the modal verb ‘will’/‘shall’, the auxiliary verb‘be’and a present participle.

将来进行时态的形成方式是把情态动词‘will’/‘shall’、 助动词‘be’及现在分词结合起来。

Modal verb‘will’/‘shall’+ Auxiliary verb‘be’+ Present Participle = Future Continuous Tense

情态动词‘will’/‘shall’+ 助动词‘be’+ Present Participle = 将来进行时态

Examples:

例子:

will + be + reading = will be reading

shall + be + doing = shall be doing

We use the future continuous tense to talk about an action that will be going on at a particular moment or period of time in the future.
