Future Continuous (Future Progressive)
Il Future Continuous descrive azioni che saranno in corso in un momento specifico nel futuro. Enfatizza la natura continua dell'azione futura.
Formiamo il Future Continuous con will be + la forma -ing del verbo. La stessa forma è usata per tutti i soggetti (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
Formazione
Forma Affermativa
Forma il Future Continuous con will be + verbo-ing. Le contrazioni ('ll) sono comuni nell'inglese parlato.

Forma Negativa
Aggiungi 'not' dopo 'will' per formare i negativi. La contrazione 'won't' è comunemente usata.

Uso
Nota: I verbi stativi (come know, like, believe, want) non sono solitamente usati in forme continue. Descrivono stati piuttosto che azioni.
