  • Hi everyone. Tom here for BBC Learning English.

  • Today, I'm going to show you how to use the

  • future continuous.

  • We use the future continuous

  • to describe actions in progress

  • at a future point in time.

  • For example:

  • In the next scene I will be wearing a jumper.

  • We make the future continuous using

  • will + be and verb(ing).

  • Note, that we can use any subject pronoun

  • and the structure won't change.

  • For example, these are my hands.

  • The subject pronoun is 'they'.

  • In the next scene, they will be holding a melon.

  • So now you will be thinking about

  • how to use the new grammar.

  • Why not give it a try?
