Continuous Tenses always engage the verb "BE," which expresses the timeframe of the action in progress. The main verb is always in the continuous form (ING). Future continuous tense The Future Continuous Tense applies the verb "BE" in the Future Tense (WILL BE). The main verb is always in the present participle form. Or to make it clear, it is formed by using will be or shah be with the verb form ending in -ing. The Future Continuous Tense is used to express an action expected to be in progress at another relative time in the future or to describe an ongoing or continuous action that will take place in the future. An adverb of time that indicates the future, is often used with the future continuous tense, e.g.: 1) I will be eating dinner with my friends at 7 tonight. 2) I will be riding the bus at 11:30 3) At this time next year, I'll be scuba diving off Mexico. 4) What will you be doing when new year arrives? 4) We 'll be having dinner when the film starts 5) Take your umbrella. It will be raining when you return. 6) Next week we will be having a party. Can you come? 7) The fog shall be covering the land and sea. 8) The temperature will not be rising above 11 ?C 9) Next week, Dr Tanaka will be presenting her ongoing research into genetically modified plants. 10) Dr Tanaka will be investigating issues of biodiversity with colleagues in the United States when she takes up her scholarship. 11) Changes in government funding for universities will be aiming to stop Australians who have technical and scientific expertise leaving the country. 12) Many countries shall be signing an agreement on controlling greenhouse emissions in the hope of limiting the depletion of the ozone layer. Step 2: More about Future continuous tense 1. Compare the following sentences, and find the differences between them. 1) Toby will be climbing in the Himalayas all next week. 2) Toby will not be in London on 5th September. He will be climbing in the Himalayas. 3) Toby will go and climb in the Himalayas next week. In the first sentence, the action climbing in the Himalayas will be a continuous activity next week and Toby will probably not do other things. In the second sentence, the action climbing in the Himalayas starts before 5th September and probably continues after it. In the third sentence, will +the base form of a verb expresses future with intention. The speaker announces a deliberate future action in accordance with Toby's wish. 2. Go over Point 1 on page 28 to get familiar with situations in which the future continuous tense is usually used. 3. Discuss how to form the future continuous tense in statements, in questions and in short answers, and then go over Point 2 on page 28. 4.Go over the exercises on page 29. Read the note first to find out what Wang Hailing, the boss, wants David to do. Then read the schedule to find out what David is going to do from 13th June to 30th June. 5. Complete the reply by David. Pay attention to the forms of the verbs or auxiliary verbs used. Answers (1) traveling (2) will be (3) will be (4) will (5) will be exploring 6. Do Part C1 on page 96 in Workbook to get more practice with the future continuous tense Answers Part C1 (page 96) 1 am planning will be helping 2 will be waiting will be standing will be having 3 have been practicing will be giving 4 Will be using will be staying Step 3: Future in the past Future tense In linguistics, a future tense is a verb form that marks the event described by a verb as not having happened yet, but expected to in the future. The Simple Past Future(The Future-in-the-Past Tense) 過去將來時 The past future tense is used to indicate future time within the past. It has two purposes. First, it is used in the reported speech to express what is expressed in the actual speech by the future tense. Second, it is used to express various degrees of supposition. Form l: would+ 動詞原形would 可簡縮為:I'd, you'd, he'd 等:would not 常簡縮為 wouldn't. Form 2: was/were going to +動詞原形 Form 3: was/were (about) to +動詞原形 Form 4: was/were+-ing e.g.: 1) I told him I should visit it at three o'clock. 2) I didn't know if she would come. 3) I wasn't sure whether he would do it. 4) It was said that the building would be completed in a year. 5) We asked him where we should go to work next week. 6) He said he would write to me as soon as possible. 7) I was told that we would be given an exam soon. 8) Lei lei said that she would visit her uncle the next Saturday. 9) I'm here because they/he told me to come back when I had my phone number。（時間狀語從句中一般過去時代替過去將來時） l0) I didn't know if she was going to come. 11) Lei Lei said that she was going to visit her uncle the next Saturday. 12) Yesterday I said that we would/were going to do it today. Step 4: More about Future in the past 1. We can use different verb forms to express future in the past. Read the following sentences and identify which tense are used in these sentences. Toby said that he would go and climb in the Himalayas soon. (future in the past) Toby was busy packing, (the past continuous tense) because he was leaving that night. (future in the past) Toby phoned his friend and told him he was going to leave at 10. (future in the past) Toby was just about to dive into the sea when he saw a shark. (future in the pas
