Common Mistakes with the Future Continuous

How the examples are marked will be verb + -ing present simple in the clause the error

Forgetting “be”

❌ I will working tomorrow.

✅ I will be working tomorrow.

The future continuous requires:

will + be + verb-ing

Using the wrong verb form after “be”

❌ She will be work at 8.

✅ She will be working at 8.

After will be, use the -ing form.

Using “will” after “when”

❌ When you will arrive, I will be waiting.

✅ When you arrive, I will be waiting.

In this type of future time clause, use the present simple after when.

Confusing future simple and future continuous

❌ At 8 tomorrow, I will work.

This is grammatically possible in some contexts, but it does not emphasize an action already in progress.

✅ At 8 tomorrow, I will be working.

The second sentence clearly presents the activity as ongoing at 8.

Using the future continuous for every future action

The future continuous is not automatically better than the simple future.

Compare:

I will call you tomorrow.

and:

I will be calling you tomorrow.

The first simply states a future action. The second presents the call as part of an expected future activity or arrangement.

Use the tense because it expresses the meaning you want—not simply because the exercise is about future continuous.

Negative Future Continuous Conversation Questions

Negative questions and answers give you another useful way to practice the tense.
