The future continuous refers to an unfinished action or event that will be in progress at a time later than now. The future continuous is used for quite a few different purposes.

The future continuous can be used to project ourselves into the future.

Examples

• This time next week I will be sun-bathing in Bali.
• By Christmas I will be skiing like a pro.
• Just think, next Monday you will be working in your new job.

The future continuous can be used for predicting or guessing about future events.

Examples

• He'll be coming to the meeting, I expect.
• I guess you'll be feeling thirsty after working in the sun.
• You'll be missing the sunshine once you're back in England.

In the interrogative form, the future continuous can be used to ask politely for information about the future.

Examples

• Will you be bringing your friend to the pub tonight?
• Will Jim be coming with us?
• Will she be going to the party tonight?
• Will I be sleeping in this room?

The future continuous can be used to refer to continuous events that we expect to happen in the future.

Examples

• I'll be seeing Jim at the conference next week.
• When he is in Australia he will be staying with friends.
• I'll be eating with Jane this evening so I can tell her.

When combined with still, the future continuous refers to events that are already happening now and that we expect to continue some time into the future.

Examples

• In an hour I'll still be ironing my clothes.
• Tomorrow he'll still be suffering from his cold.
• Next year will she still be wearing a size six?
• Won't stock prices still be falling in the morning?
• Unfortunately, sea levels will still be rising in 20 years.
