Future continuous
When do we use it ? When referring to an event that will be in progress at a particular time in the future.
Be careful, use time expressions which help set the context (this time next week, tomorrow at 1pm).
It’s often used when trying to set up a meeting time.
Try to use the future continuous in that context or when talking about more important events.
Examples :
- This time next week, I’ll be presenting an award to Elon Musk.
- Tomorrow at 2pm, I’ll be supervising an internal audit. Can we meet at 4pm ?
