Verb Tenses: The Future Continuous Created by Kathryn Reilly Verb Tense Background • Verbs change their form to allow writers to accurately describe events. • Verbs alert the reader if the action is in the past, present or future. • Within these three main time frames, actions can be further broken down. The Future Continuous Background • The future continuous tense describes an event at a specific moment in the future. • A sentence written in the future continuous also needs to identify the moment that the event is occurring. • The future continuous tense requires two auxiliary verbs: will and be. Creating the Future Continuous • To create the future continuous tense: Subject + will + be + -ing verb Tomorrow, Jake will be running at 6 a.m. In one month we will be graduating! Future Continuous Examples • The future continuous tense describes an event that will occur (or will not occur) at a specific moment in time. – Tonya will be playing the piano at the talent show. – Thomas will not be performing at the talent show. Be Aware… • …if a question uses the future continuous tense, will becomes the first word followed by the subject. – Will Justin be coming to the holiday party? • …if a contraction is formed negatively, will not becomes won’t. – I won’t be attending the holiday party.
