Conclusion and sign-off for the video
Transcripts
I am talking, I was talking, I will be talking,
that is the future continuous and in this lesson I'm going to teach you everything
you need to know about when and where we use this tense.
This video was requested by many of my YouTube viewers.
If you have a request,
just let me know in the comments and I might do a video for you, too.
So to form the future continuous, it's really easy.
The present continuous is I am talking, so we just take the verb to be..
"I am" and we make that into the future.
I will be.
I will be talking.
You will be listening.
We will be learning.
So that's basically how we form the tense.
Now to form this in the negative we use
will not instead of will, but will not usually becomes, won't in the future.
Won't with the O sound in the middle.
Sometimes when I'm speaking and I say I won't go.
Sometimes people understand this.
I want to go. Want - won't.
They are very similar.
But the big difference in this is that with 'want' we use 'to'... Want to do something.
So if somebody says I ---- to go, then they're using the word 'want'.
If somebody says I --- go, then they're using the word 'won't'.
I won't go. To use the future continuous
in a question, we simply change the order of Will and the person – I, you, he, she – so,
for example, you will be staying becomes will you be staying?
If you go to a hotel in England
at reception, they will probably ask you how many nights will you be staying?
How many nights will you be staying?
OK, everything stays the same.
We simply change the order of will and the person.
So I think forming the future continuous is not too complicated.
Right?
But perhaps the most complicated part of it is knowing when we use this tense.
So I'm going to now tell you all
the situations where we use the future continuous tense in English.
There are five ways we use the future
continuous and just look at how we use the present continuous,
like, I am talking. We use this tense for things that are happening right now.
I am talking.
I am standing.
I am teaching.
You are listening. You are learning.
These are all things that are happening right now.
If your favourite food is pizza and you
eat it every Saturday, you say, I eat pizza, I eat pizza every Saturday.
However, if you are in the process
of eating it now, when you are talking, you use the present continuous.
OK, I am eating pizza.
So we are describing an action that happens at a specific moment
which in the present continuous is now! So in the future continuous
the thing that really changes is the moment.
It's not now because we're talking about the future.
So instead of using this tense to explain
what is happening now, we use the future continuous to say what
is happening at a specific moment in the future.
For example, at nine o'clock tonight,
I will be watching the game. At nine o'clock, I will be watching the game.
So it's a specific moment in the future and I'm describing what will be happening.
Another example that people might say in their office in the summer is
this time next week I will be sitting on the beach this time next week.
So if you're in the office and you say
this on Monday morning, it means that Monday morning, next week,
specific time in the future, what will be happening?
I will be sitting on the beach.
That is the most common use of the future
continuous tense.
The next four ways I'm going to teach you
are a little bit more advanced and I want you to speak advanced English.
So let's learn these more advanced ways too. The next one is when we are predicting
or guessing something about a future event.
So imagine it's late.
I'm driving to visit my parents, the children are in the back.
I call my mum and say,
don't be too excited because the children will be sleeping
when we arrive. The children will be sleeping when we arrive.
They're not sleeping now, but it's a prediction.
I'm guessing that, it's late, I'm driving, they're tired.
I think that when we arrive, they will be sleeping.
Another example, maybe you're talking to me about your future holiday plans.
You're going to spend a few days
in Madrid, then you're going to visit Africa.
Then you're going to spend a few days
with friends in New York, and then you're coming back home.
And I say, wow, you'll be feeling tired after that holiday.
You'll...
(you will) you'll be feeling tired after that holiday.
I am making a prediction and I'm guessing
what the situation will be regarding a future event.
OK, remember earlier when I used the example in a hotel? And the person
at reception says, how many nights will you be staying?
This is a perfect example of the next way we use the future continuous.
We use it when we are politely asking for information about the future.
It's formal.
I don't know if it's formal or informal.
It's polite and it's always nice to be polite.
So the receptionist could say, how many nights are you staying?
But if he wants to be polite, he would say, how many nights will you be
staying? It's a small difference which can help you sound more polite when you are
asking for information in English. If you arrange to go on a day trip with a friend,
you could say, will you be driving? It's just a much more polite and indirect
way of saying, are you driving or who's driving. In British English
we love grammatical structures like this
that can help us sound more polite. The next way we use the future
continuous in English is when we are
describing a continuous action that we expect to happen in the future.
So next year I will be working at a new company.
OK, it's a continuous action.
I am working at this company that we expect to happen in the future.
Next year I will be working at a different company.
Next year I will be living in a different city next year.
Hopefully we will be living a more normal life after the pandemic.
I am working,
I am living... All continuous actions that we think and expect to happen in the future.
OK, so... So far we use the future continuous
when we are describing a situation that will happen at a specific time
in the future, when we are predicting or guessing about future events,
when we are politely asking for information, and when we're talking
about continuous events that we expect to happen in the future.
Now, the final way we use the future continuous is when we use it with the word
still and the word still goes after the word will. Will still, will still.
So instead of he will be living, we say he will still be living.
And we use this when we are talking about a continuous action that is happening now
that we expect to continue happening a long time into the future.
OK, for example, he's 30 and he lives with his parents now.
He'll still be living with his parents when he's 50.
He'll still be living with his parents when he's 50.
OK, it's something that is happening now
and I'm predicting that it will continue to happen a long time into the future.
I love Spaghetti Bolognese and when I eat it, I eat it so quickly.
However, my daughter eats very, very slowly.
And as I look at my empty plate and look at her full plate, I often say,
you'll still be eating at bedtime, you will still be eating at bedtime.
So she is eating now - it's a continuous action
that I am guessing will happen a long time into the future.
You will still be eating at bedtime.
If you want to use and understand this
tense correctly, you should really familiarise yourself
with the contractions that I have been using in this lesson.
I will becomes I'll
You will becomes you'll.
He will, he'll. She will, she'll.
We will, we'll. And they will, they'll.
That's an important part of understanding
and using naturally this future continuous tense.
So now you know how to use the future continuous.
Now you need to know how to use the past continuous.
I will teach you everything you need to know about that in that video.
And then there's the present perfect continuous like I have been living.
You can learn all about that in that video there. Thanks for watching and bye for now.
