The future continuous shows an event that starts before and finishes after the specified time. For example:</span></b><b><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>&nbsp;</span></b></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt; text-indent: 18pt;"><b><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>The football match starts at 3.00 and finishes at 4.45.</span></b></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt; text-indent: 18pt;"><b><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>At 4.15 o'clock, the team <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);">will be playing</span> football.</span></b></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b><span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 204); line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;'>&nbsp;</span></b></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b><span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 204); line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;'></span></b><b><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>2.&nbsp; See also the rules for <span style="color: rgb(112, 48, 160);">stative verbs</span> that cannot be used in continuous tenses.</span></b></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b><span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 204); line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;'>&nbsp;</span></b></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b><span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 204); line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;'></span></b><b><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>3.&nbsp; As with all future tenses, the future continuous is not used in clauses that start with time expressions such as 'when', 'if', 'after', 'before' and 'as soon as'. In this case use the present continuous in the time clause:</span></b></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><b><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>&nbsp;</span></b></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><font face="arial"><font size="2"><strong>When I will be working, he will be making dinner.&nbsp; </strong><img height="20" id="40" style="width: 14px; height: 13px;" alt="Image" src="http://www.e-exercises.com/img/bibliotheque/40_457126aaf23a65c1331eea83d27fb7c4.jpg"><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><strong> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"> </v:f> <v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"> <o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"> </o:lock><v:shape id="Image_x0020_16" style="width: 13.2pt; height: 16.8pt; visibility: visible; mso-wrap-style: square;" alt="http://www.e-exercises.com/img/bibliotheque/40_457126aaf23a65c1331eea83d27fb7c4.jpg" type="#_x0000_t75" o:spid="_x0000_i1026"> <v:imagedata o:title="40_457126aaf23a65c1331eea83d27fb7c4" src="file:///C:UsersKimAppDataLocalTempmsohtmlclip1&#65533;1clip_image001.jpg"> </v:imagedata></v:shape></v:path></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:stroke></strong></v:shapetype></font></font></p><font face="arial" size="2"> </font><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><font face="arial"><font size="2"><b><span style='line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;'>When I'm working, he<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);">'ll</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);">be making</span> dinner.</span></b>&nbsp; <img height="22" id="39" style="width: 17px; height: 13px;" alt="Image" src="http://www.e-exercises.com/img/bibliotheque/39_db7196aad25f86da510b9bb08610a187.jpg"></font></font><font face="Calibri"><span></span></font><span></span><strong><v:shape id="Image_x0020_7" style="width: 21.6pt; height: 12.6pt; visibility: visible; mso-wrap-style: square;" alt="http://www.e-exercises.com/img/bibliotheque/39_db7196aad25f86da510b9bb08610a187.jpg" type="#_x0000_t75" o:spid="_x0000_i1025"> <v:imagedata o:title="39_db7196aad25f86da510b9bb08610a187" src="file:///C:UsersKimAppDataLocalTempmsohtmlclip1&#65533;1clip_image002.jpg"> </v:imagedata></v:shape></strong></p><strong> </strong><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 2cm;"><br></p></html>
