1
00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:07,049
In this class, you will learn all about the
future continuous tense, which is also called
2
00:00:07,049 --> 00:00:09,450
the future progressive tense.
3
00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:13,280
It has two names, but it's only one tense,
alright?
4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,150
Now, this class is actually part of a series
created by www.engvid.com to help you learn
5
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:21,760
the English verb tenses.
6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:29,460
So, the future continuous tense is used by
native English speakers quite often and somehow,
7
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:33,050
English students don't know too much about this tense.
8
00:00:33,050 --> 00:00:40,030
So, this is your chance to learn and understand
this tense and to start to use it, because
9
00:00:40,030 --> 00:00:42,019
it's really not hard at all.
10
00:00:42,019 --> 00:00:43,750
It's actually quite easy.
11
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:46,769
So, would you like to begin?
12
00:00:46,769 --> 00:00:48,829
Let's do that.
13
00:00:48,829 --> 00:00:56,379
So, if we look at the board now, you'll understand
a little bit more about how this works.
14
00:00:56,380 --> 00:01:05,640
The name of this tense that we're learning
is future continuous, and that tells you so much.
15
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:07,100
What does it tell you?
16
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:10,580
First, that it's about the future.
17
00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:16,240
And second, that it's about something that
happens in the future, something that happens
18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,060
after now, that continues for some time.
19
00:01:22,060 --> 00:01:28,080
It's something that's happening, it's not
just something that happens, but it's happening.
20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,170
It continues.
21
00:01:29,170 --> 00:01:31,780
It continues for some time.
22
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:34,370
It's in progress, alright?
23
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:41,670
So, the name itself gives you a good idea
of what this tense is likely to be.
24
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:45,259
Now, let's look an example so you'll understand
very clearly.
25
00:01:45,259 --> 00:01:48,990
So, I've drawn a timeline here.
26
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:49,990
This is now.
27
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:55,280
Everything before now is the past, we're not
learning that right now.
28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,340
Everything after that is the future,
and that's what we're looking at.
29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:13,040
So, let's suppose in the future, tomorrow,
I will start work at 9:00, and I will finish
30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,400
work at 5:00.
31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:24,670
When I said, "I will start" and I said, "I
will finish", that is the future simple tense,
32
00:02:24,670 --> 00:02:30,720
because it just happens, I start at 9:00,
I finish at 5:00, right?
33
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,879
I cannot keep on starting.
34
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:36,610
So, that is the future simple tense.
35
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:48,730
But if I want to say that tomorrow, I will
be working from 9:00 to 5:00, now I'm talking
36
00:02:48,730 --> 00:02:52,340
about how long I'm working, right?
37
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:55,099
I want to show you that it continues.
38
00:02:55,099 --> 00:02:57,480
From 9:00 to 5:00.
39
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,270
So that will be the future continuous tense
or future progressive.
40
00:03:02,270 --> 00:03:08,220
So, here we would say, "I will be working",
right, let me underline it for you.
41
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:14,819
I will be working from 9:00 to 5:00 tomorrow,
alright?
42
00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:20,180
This is just, I will start, I will finish,
alright?
43
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:24,060
But that one continues.
44
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:28,790
So, let's see now, look very quickly, look
at how it's constructed.
45
00:03:28,790 --> 00:03:30,940
Again, very easy.
46
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:39,120
You take any subject, I, You, He, She, We,
They, doesn't matter, and you say "will be",
47
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,360
you have to use this, but you can use this
for everyone, then you take the verb like
48
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,769
"work" and you add "-ing".
49
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:54,220
We'll be looking at lots of examples you understand
exactly how that works but basically, that's it.
50
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:59,980
It's about the future, it continues, tells
you about an action that continues, and it's
51
00:03:59,981 --> 00:04:04,370
just with the subject, I will be working.
52
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:08,739
Now, let's look at when we can use the future
continuous tense.
53
00:04:08,739 --> 00:04:12,569
So, we can use it in different situations.
54
00:04:12,569 --> 00:04:20,030
The first one is when something continues
in the future for a period of time.
55
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:24,680
That was the example we looked at just now,
but let's look at another example.
56
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:34,720
So: Our team will be attending a conference
from March 5-8, alright?
57
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:42,260
Our team will be attending, right, this is
the part that's the future continuous, from
58
00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:46,470
March 5-8, is a period of time, alright?
59
00:04:46,470 --> 00:04:52,190
And it will continue because they will be
there during that entire period.
60
00:04:52,190 --> 00:05:02,070
Next, we can also use the future continuous
tense when something continues during a particular
61
00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:04,160
moment, okay?
62
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,220
So, for example, 2:30 is a moment, right?
63
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:13,360
But, let's suppose that you start doing something
at 2:00 and you finish doing something at
64
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:21,720
4:00, then 2:30 is one of those moments during
which you will be doing something.
65
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:29,840
For example, someone's asked me, or someone
asks you, "Can I call you at 2:30?" and you
66
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:38,850
say "No, sorry, you can't because at 2:30,
I will be taking my English exam."
67
00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:41,070
Alright, so what does that mean?
68
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:47,840
So, let's say the person started taking the
exam at 2:00, it's finishing at 4:00, so 2:00,
69
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:56,200
2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, during that entire
period, that person will be taking their English exam.
70
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,800
Again: will be taking, alright?
71
00:05:58,810 --> 00:06:06,030
So, it can also be when something continues
during a particular moment but it's not starting
72
00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:10,560
and finishing in that moment, it's continuing
through that moment.
73
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Okay?
74
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:19,390
Next, we can also use it when we're describing
different activities or actions that are continuing
75
00:06:19,390 --> 00:06:22,560
together at the same time.
76
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:31,790
For example: On Tuesday, Jack will be giving
a presentation and Steve will be meeting a
77
00:06:31,790 --> 00:06:32,790
client.
78
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:37,600
So here, we have two parts that use the future
continuous.
79
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:48,580
We said, "Jack will be giving a presentation"
and "Steve will be - will be meeting a client",
80
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:49,580
alright?
81
00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:51,020
So, it doesn't matter.
82
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:55,010
You could say three things, four things, five
things, it doesn't matter.
83
00:06:55,010 --> 00:07:01,170
There could be many things that are happening
at the same time and they're continuing at
84
00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:03,490
the same time, alright?
85
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:12,190
Next, we also use the present - sorry, the
future continuous tense to talk about or to
86
00:07:12,190 --> 00:07:14,360
ask polite questions.
87
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:22,810
Very often, people who are in the hospitality
industry or in customer service use this style.
88
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:29,590
For example, in a hotel, somebody might ask:
Will you be checking in early?
89
00:07:29,590 --> 00:07:30,840
Right?
90
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:37,210
So, what they want to know, they could say,
"Will you check in early?" but somehow, it's
91
00:07:37,210 --> 00:07:44,770
much more polite to use the future continuous
tense and to ask, "Will you be checking in
92
00:07:44,770 --> 00:07:46,250
early?", alright?
93
00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:48,500
Will you be staying for dinner?
94
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:50,080
Will you be attending the wedding?
95
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,200
Alright, it's just a polite way of asking.
96
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:59,050
So here also, you see the will and the you
is there, because it's a question, we'll look
97
00:07:59,050 --> 00:08:00,500
at that later.
98
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:03,990
Will you be checking in, okay?
99
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:05,310
Alright.
100
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:11,620
And the last part is that very often, you
will be using this tense because it's talking
101
00:08:11,620 --> 00:08:19,150
about the future, you very often will see
it being used with a time marker.
102
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:20,780
What do I mean by a time marker?
103
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:26,940
A time marker is just a word or a phrase that
tells you when something will happen in the
104
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:31,150
future, in this case, in the future, because
we're talking about the future.
105
00:08:31,150 --> 00:08:39,399
So, those words could be tomorrow, next week,
next month, next year, okay?
106
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:45,100
At 9:00, on Friday, in the summer, in winter,
okay?
107
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:51,890
So, very often, you will see the future continuous
tense or the future progressive tense, same
108
00:08:51,890 --> 00:08:54,010
thing, being used with a time marker.
109
00:08:54,010 --> 00:08:59,920
So, these are the main ways and times that
we use the future continuous tense.
110
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,610
Now, let's look at when not to use the future
continuous tense, because there are certain
111
00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:09,579
situations in which we cannot use this tense.
112
00:09:09,579 --> 00:09:17,480
So, in English, there are two kinds of verbs:
dynamic verbs and stative verbs.
113
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,250
A dynamic verb is an action verb.
114
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:25,589
For example: eat, run, drink, okay?
115
00:09:25,589 --> 00:09:36,700
And a stative verb describes a condition or
a state or a situation, like love, know, understand,
116
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:37,759
and so on.
117
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:44,070
There is a very long list, actually, quite
a long list of verbs which are considered,
118
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:49,790
in English, stative verbs, which you need
to read through and become familiar with.
119
00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:56,290
You can check in any good grammar book and
you will find this list of stative verbs.
120
00:09:56,290 --> 00:10:06,009
So, in the future continuous tense and actually
in any continuous tense, we cannot use stative
121
00:10:06,009 --> 00:10:07,959
verbs.
122
00:10:07,959 --> 00:10:13,600
In that case, you will not use future continuous,
you will have to use future simple.
123
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,529
So, let's look at a few examples.
124
00:10:16,529 --> 00:10:24,170
So, stative verbs can be talking about emotional
states, mental states, something that you
125
00:10:24,170 --> 00:10:28,870
own or possess, or all kinds of other things.
126
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:33,060
Emotional, let's look at an example of that.
127
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:38,019
It would be wrong to say, "You will be loving
this car."
128
00:10:38,019 --> 00:10:40,851
In English, we cannot say that.
129
00:10:40,851 --> 00:10:48,610
That is not correct, because "love" is a stative
verb, so you should be saying instead, "You
130
00:10:48,610 --> 00:10:54,980
will love this car", which is not future continuous,
it is future simple, alright?
131
00:10:54,980 --> 00:11:00,290
So, you cannot use the future continuous with
that word.
132
00:11:00,290 --> 00:11:03,490
Next, for certain kinds of mental states.
133
00:11:03,490 --> 00:11:07,569
For example: He will be understanding the
problem soon."
134
00:11:07,569 --> 00:11:11,540
No, that's wrong, you cannot say that.
135
00:11:11,540 --> 00:11:17,220
You would need to use future simple there
and just say, "He will understand the problem
136
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:18,649
soon."
137
00:11:18,649 --> 00:11:20,079
Okay?
138
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:25,459
Next, when you're talking about something
that you possess, something that you have,
139
00:11:25,459 --> 00:11:31,939
something that you own, again, we cannot use
the continuous form.
140
00:11:31,939 --> 00:11:37,819
So, you cannot say: She will be having a new
computer next month.
141
00:11:37,819 --> 00:11:39,769
No, that's wrong.
142
00:11:39,769 --> 00:11:45,579
You need to say instead, "She will have a
new computer next month."
143
00:11:45,579 --> 00:11:46,699
Alright?
144
00:11:46,699 --> 00:11:47,829
Good.
145
00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:50,779
And then, there are all kinds of other words.
146
00:11:50,779 --> 00:11:58,639
I'll give you an example: This phone will
be costing $50 dollars more next week.
147
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:04,129
That is incorrect, because "cost" is also
a stative verb.
148
00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:11,270
So instead of that, you would need to say,
"This phone will cost $50 more next week.",
149
00:12:11,270 --> 00:12:12,270
alright?
150
00:12:12,270 --> 00:12:19,420
So pay attention that, it's really important
not to use stative verbs with any of the continuous
151
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:22,819
tenses, including the future continuous tense.
152
00:12:22,819 --> 00:12:26,790
Now, let's look at how we form the future
continuous tense.
153
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:34,560
So, I've divided the board into three parts
for a positive or affirmative sentence, a
154
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:37,959
negative sentence, and for a question, okay?
155
00:12:37,959 --> 00:12:41,529
So, let's look at how we form each part.
156
00:12:41,529 --> 00:12:50,220
If it's a positive sentence, you just take
any subject and you add to it "will be working".
157
00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:55,350
For example, I will be working.
158
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:58,120
You will be working.
159
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,329
We will be working.
160
00:13:01,329 --> 00:13:04,510
They will be working.
161
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:08,399
You can repeat these after me, it's good practice,
you'll get used to it.
162
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:11,889
He will be working.
163
00:13:11,889 --> 00:13:13,660
She will be working.
164
00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:16,040
It will be working.
165
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Okay?
166
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,579
"It" is for things, like let's say, a computer,
okay?
167
00:13:21,579 --> 00:13:28,949
Next, if it's negative, we're basically just
adding the word "not" if you're trying to
168
00:13:28,949 --> 00:13:30,389
be a little bit formal.
169
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:38,279
So, if you're being formal, then we would
say "I will not be working", but most of the
170
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:45,439
time, in regular conversation, we don't say
"I will not be working", we use the contraction
171
00:13:45,439 --> 00:13:51,160
or short form and we say "I won't be working
on Sunday."
172
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:57,279
So, "won't" is what we use instead of "will
not".
173
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:03,129
Say it after me so you get the pronunciation
of "won't" properly, alright?
174
00:14:03,129 --> 00:14:06,319
I won't be working.
175
00:14:06,319 --> 00:14:07,839
You won't.
176
00:14:07,839 --> 00:14:10,720
He won't.
177
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,720
She won't.
178
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,720
Okay?
179
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:22,260
So, make sure that you're saying "won't" properly,
and the full form is "They won't be working."
180
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:24,980
He won't be working.
181
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:27,690
She won't be working.
182
00:14:27,690 --> 00:14:29,329
It won't be working.
183
00:14:29,329 --> 00:14:30,329
Alright?
184
00:14:30,329 --> 00:14:31,329
Good.
185
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:32,399
That's the negative.
186
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:35,639
And now for the question, what happens with
the question?
187
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:40,410
As in many of the tenses, we have to change
the order of the words.
188
00:14:40,410 --> 00:14:46,579
So, instead of saying "I will be working",
we say "Will I be working?"
189
00:14:46,579 --> 00:14:50,550
Say it after me: Will you be working?
190
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:53,610
Will we be working?
191
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:56,519
Let's say on Sunday, or whatever.
192
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:59,820
Will they be working?
193
00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:03,329
Will he be working?
194
00:15:03,329 --> 00:15:05,180
Will she be working?
195
00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:07,920
Will it be working?
196
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Alright?
197
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,920
That's it.
198
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:17,069
So basically, this "will be", "won't be",
"will you be", this is the core of it, alright?
199
00:15:17,069 --> 00:15:19,389
And once you know that, you know the whole
tense.
200
00:15:19,389 --> 00:15:24,649
Then basically, you're taking any verb like
"work" and adding "-ing".
201
00:15:24,649 --> 00:15:32,350
So, we could say "I'll be working, I'll be
watching this movie tonight, I'll be sleeping,
202
00:15:32,350 --> 00:15:36,279
I'll be studying, I'll be learning English",
okay?
203
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:41,800
Whatever, just take the base form of the verb
and add "-ing" and you're fine.
204
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Alright.
205
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,850
Now, if you want to add any question words,
what are the question words?
206
00:15:47,850 --> 00:15:55,170
Who, what, when, why, how, and so on, then
you just put that question word right before
207
00:15:55,170 --> 00:15:57,129
this part.
208
00:15:57,129 --> 00:16:01,869
For example: When will you be working?
209
00:16:01,869 --> 00:16:04,839
Where will they be working?
210
00:16:04,839 --> 00:16:06,680
How long will he be working?
211
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Alright?
212
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:14,179
So, you can take any of those question words
or phrases and add them just before this but
213
00:16:14,179 --> 00:16:19,190
keep the rest of the structure exactly the
same as the regular question.
214
00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:22,679
And, that's how you form the future continuous
tense.
215
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:29,519
Now, let's look at how we form and pronounce
contractions in the future continuous tense.
216
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:36,709
So, for example, "I will be" becomes "I'll
be".
217
00:16:36,709 --> 00:16:38,999
Say it after me, okay?
218
00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:42,449
I'll be.
219
00:16:42,449 --> 00:16:46,199
You'll be.
220
00:16:46,199 --> 00:16:48,329
We'll be.
221
00:16:48,329 --> 00:16:52,610
They'll be.
222
00:16:52,610 --> 00:16:56,889
He'll be.
223
00:16:56,889 --> 00:16:58,589
She'll be.
224
00:16:58,589 --> 00:17:01,540
It'll be.
225
00:17:01,540 --> 00:17:08,690
Now, this last one, it'll be, isn't used very
much, so you don't have to use that.
226
00:17:08,690 --> 00:17:14,220
We usually say "It will be" because it's a
little hard to say it and it's very unusual,
227
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:15,220
alright?
228
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:21,270
Now, let's make some sentences, okay, or parts
of sentences with this.
229
00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:25,400
I'll be living in New York.
230
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,180
You'll be meeting the boss.
231
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:33,890
We'll be shopping.
232
00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:38,300
They'll be playing.
233
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:42,060
He'll be sleeping.
234
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:46,900
She'll be doing her homework.
235
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:50,820
It'll be working by then.
236
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:52,770
Those are the positive ones.
237
00:17:52,770 --> 00:17:56,820
If it's negative, "I will not be" becomes
what?
238
00:17:56,820 --> 00:18:00,030
You know: I won't be.
239
00:18:00,030 --> 00:18:03,210
Say it after me: I won't be.
240
00:18:03,210 --> 00:18:05,820
And of course, you can do that for all of
them.
241
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:10,720
I won't be, you won't be, he won't be, and
so on.
242
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,750
And then, you add a verb + the ing.
243
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:17,700
For example, "I won't be working", alright?
244
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:23,580
And you won't be making any mistakes in the
pronunciation of these contractions.
245
00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:28,330
Now, let's look at some of the spelling changes
we need to make when we're using the future
246
00:18:28,330 --> 00:18:30,190
continuous tense.
247
00:18:30,190 --> 00:18:35,290
So, for most verbs, you don't need to make
too many changes.
248
00:18:35,290 --> 00:18:39,420
All you have to do is just add "-ing".
249
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:45,040
For example: help becomes helping.
250
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,040
Do - doing.
251
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,040
Right?
252
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,570
All we did was add "ing".
253
00:18:50,570 --> 00:19:01,300
Now, for verbs that end with an e, what you
have to do is to drop the e and add "ing".
254
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:08,960
For example, the verb "write", to write, becomes
"writing".
255
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,520
To bake becomes baking.
256
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Alright?
257
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:18,320
So, if there is an e, we would drop it like,
dance - dancing.
258
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,980
Like that.
259
00:19:19,980 --> 00:19:20,980
Okay?
260
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:29,810
Next, for verbs that end with ie, okay, then
what we do, you have to make a few more changes,
261
00:19:29,810 --> 00:19:34,200
you change the ie to a y.
262
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:40,660
For example, the verb "lie" becomes "lying".
263
00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:43,590
Tie - tying.
264
00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:46,529
Alright?
265
00:19:46,529 --> 00:19:52,700
And then, last, for verbs that end with a
c-v-c, what is c-v-c?
266
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:57,340
C stands for constant and V stands for vowel.
267
00:19:57,340 --> 00:20:05,180
A vowel in English is A, E, I, O, U, and every
other letter in English is a consonant.
268
00:20:05,180 --> 00:20:11,880
So, if you look at the verb, let's look at
this one and you'll understand, and you look
269
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,120
at it from the end.
270
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:21,090
If the last letter is a consonant, and then
you have a vowel, and then you have a consonant,
271
00:20:21,090 --> 00:20:26,210
then you double the last letter and then add
"-ing".
272
00:20:26,210 --> 00:20:32,710
So, the verb "begin" becomes "beginning".
273
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:38,050
The verb "get", again, c-v-c, right?
274
00:20:38,050 --> 00:20:41,800
Get becomes getting, or get-ting.
275
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,450
And sit - sitting.
276
00:20:45,450 --> 00:20:46,670
Okay?
277
00:20:46,670 --> 00:20:53,040
So, these are the main kinds of spelling changes
you need to make when you're writing with
278
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,870
the future continuous tense.
279
00:20:54,870 --> 00:20:59,730
Now, let's look at how to give short answers
using the future continuous tense.
280
00:20:59,730 --> 00:21:02,480
What do I mean by short answers?
281
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,150
When someone asks a question, usually when
we answer, we don't have to repeat everything
282
00:21:08,150 --> 00:21:12,110
that they've said, so we say something like
this.
283
00:21:12,110 --> 00:21:17,760
If the question is "Will Jack be working with
you tomorrow?", let's say.
284
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:25,710
So, you could say, "Yes, he will.", or "No,
he won't."
285
00:21:25,710 --> 00:21:33,290
So, if it's positive, you just take this from
here and bring it here, okay?
286
00:21:33,290 --> 00:21:34,290
Yes, he will.
287
00:21:34,290 --> 00:21:36,990
Here, we cannot use a contraction.
288
00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:38,370
You cannot shorten it.
289
00:21:38,370 --> 00:21:40,120
Don't say "Yes, he'll."
290
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:41,500
No, okay?
291
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:43,070
Yes, he will.
292
00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:48,410
Or, "No, he won't."
293
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:53,050
Let's look at another example: Will they be
announcing the winners today?
294
00:21:53,050 --> 00:21:56,580
So, what do we do?
295
00:21:56,580 --> 00:22:01,580
Yes, they will, or No, they won't.
296
00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:05,120
Say it after me: Yes, they will.
297
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,290
No, they won't.
298
00:22:07,290 --> 00:22:08,290
Good.
299
00:22:08,290 --> 00:22:11,450
Again, no contraction possible.
300
00:22:11,450 --> 00:22:15,640
And let's take one more: Will you be attending
the lecture?
301
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,800
So, we could say what?
302
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,360
"Yes, I will" or "No, I won't".
303
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:26,790
That's it.
304
00:22:26,790 --> 00:22:31,790
So, once you know that someone asks you a
question like that which starts with the "will"
305
00:22:31,790 --> 00:22:37,250
in the future continuous, you can answer it
with "Yes, I will", "No, I won't."
306
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:38,250
Alright?
307
00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:43,040
So, if I ask you, "Will you be eating dinner
later?"
308
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,420
You could say whichever one applies to you.
309
00:22:46,420 --> 00:22:49,740
"Yes, I will" or "No, I won't".
310
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:54,750
Now, let's do some practice exercises with
the future continuous tense.
311
00:22:54,750 --> 00:23:01,980
So, we have some positive sentences to make,
some negative, and some questions, okay?
312
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:04,310
So, let's start with the first one.
313
00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:11,850
So here, first, it has something written in
the future simple, and we will be changing
314
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:14,440
it to the future continuous.
315
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,210
So, "I will learn".
316
00:23:19,210 --> 00:23:22,440
How do we change that into the future continuous?
317
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:34,540
It should be "I will be learning."
318
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:37,200
Okay?
319
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,200
I will be learning.
320
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:46,930
"They will sell" becomes what in future continuous?
321
00:23:46,930 --> 00:23:55,130
"They will be selling."
322
00:23:55,130 --> 00:23:58,990
"I will be learning."
323
00:23:58,990 --> 00:24:01,110
"They will be selling."
324
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:02,110
Okay?
325
00:24:02,110 --> 00:24:03,110
Good.
326
00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:09,970
Now, let's take some sentences which already
are in the future continuous tense and make
327
00:24:09,970 --> 00:24:11,500
them negative.
328
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:17,490
The first sentence: We will be taking the
train.
329
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:21,700
Let's make this one negative in a formal way.
330
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:29,340
So, what word can you add and where do you
add it to make this negative?
331
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:37,380
We would say "We will not be taking the train."
332
00:24:37,380 --> 00:24:40,190
We will not be taking the train, okay?
333
00:24:40,190 --> 00:24:44,210
It comes after "will", will, will not.
334
00:24:44,210 --> 00:24:48,350
Now, let's make this one negative, but in
an informal way.
335
00:24:48,350 --> 00:24:54,990
It says right now: He will be staying at a
hotel.
336
00:24:54,990 --> 00:24:58,770
How do we make that negative?
337
00:24:58,770 --> 00:25:08,850
Over here, this part, so it becomes "He won't",
okay, instead of will, "He won't be staying
338
00:25:08,850 --> 00:25:09,850
at a hotel."
339
00:25:09,850 --> 00:25:10,850
Alright?
340
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:12,000
Good.
341
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,090
Now, let's make some questions.
342
00:25:15,090 --> 00:25:19,850
Number five: Robert will be calling at 4:00.
343
00:25:19,850 --> 00:25:23,800
So, you need to make a question that starts
with "What time".
344
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,140
What will it be?
345
00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:37,990
What time will Robert be calling?
346
00:25:37,990 --> 00:25:40,370
Okay?
347
00:25:40,370 --> 00:25:47,280
Because if we didn't have this question word
or question phrase, the question would just
348
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:53,990
be "Will Robert be calling?", but if we add
the question phrase, we still keep that same
349
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:59,060
structure, we're just adding the question
word or question phrase.
350
00:25:59,060 --> 00:26:02,040
What time will Robert be calling, okay?
351
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,040
Good.
352
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:10,080
Number six: Donna will be teaching from 7-8
pm.
353
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,500
So now, you want to ask a question that starts
with "when".
354
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:19,980
So, how do we form it?
355
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:27,230
"When will Donna be teaching?"
356
00:26:27,230 --> 00:26:29,900
Right?
357
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:36,360
Because again, if we didn't have the question
word, this would become "Will Donna be teaching?",
358
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:41,490
but with the question word, "When will Donna
be teaching?"
359
00:26:41,490 --> 00:26:43,460
What will Donna be teaching?
360
00:26:43,460 --> 00:26:46,650
How long will Donna be teaching, and so on.
361
00:26:46,650 --> 00:26:47,650
Okay?
362
00:26:47,650 --> 00:26:52,470
So, this is a little bit of review of what
we've been studying so far in the future continuous
363
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:53,470
tense.
364
00:26:53,470 --> 00:26:57,520
Now, let's look at some common mistakes that
are made when using the future continuous
365
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,740
tense and see how we can avoid them and correct
them.
366
00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:08,760
So, sometimes a mistake is made with the tense
itself.
367
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,080
The wrong tense is being used.
368
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:17,780
So, let's suppose that somebody asks you,
"Could you call me at 8:00 today?" and you
369
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:24,230
say, "No, I can't call at 8:00, as I will
travel then."
370
00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:32,250
So, that's incorrect because it should not
be "I will travel", which is future simple,
371
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:38,500
because travel is continuous, so here, you
could actually use the future continuous tense,
372
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:39,500
right?
373
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:50,390
So, you should say "I will be travelling then",
okay?
374
00:27:50,390 --> 00:27:54,040
I can't call at 8:00, as I will be travelling
then.
375
00:27:54,040 --> 00:28:01,370
Travelling, by the way, is one of those words
that could be used and written with a double
376
00:28:01,370 --> 00:28:05,650
L here or without a double L. Both are correct.
377
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:06,650
Alright.
378
00:28:06,650 --> 00:28:07,650
Spelling.
379
00:28:07,650 --> 00:28:12,320
Sometimes, the mistake is a spelling error.
380
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,290
For example, see if you can find the mistake
here and see if you can correct it.
381
00:28:17,290 --> 00:28:20,250
"She'll be takeing a vacation".
382
00:28:20,250 --> 00:28:26,330
Now, when I say it, it sounds just fine, but
look at the spelling here.
383
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:29,390
How can we fix that?
384
00:28:29,390 --> 00:28:37,150
Remember what we do if the verb ends with
an e, we need to cancel the e before we add
385
00:28:37,150 --> 00:28:41,610
"-ing", so it should look like this.
386
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:43,120
Taking.
387
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,630
Okay?
388
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:46,140
Good.
389
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:53,010
Or, let's look at another spelling mistake:
We'll be swiming in the sea.
390
00:28:53,010 --> 00:28:57,020
So, here is the mistake.
391
00:28:57,020 --> 00:29:02,600
This was example of one of those consonant,
vowel, consonant, right?
392
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,510
Swim is like that, so we need to do what?
393
00:29:06,510 --> 00:29:09,390
Double the last letter.
394
00:29:09,390 --> 00:29:12,880
We'll be swimming in the sea, alright?
395
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,880
Good.
396
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,060
Next, sometimes a mistake is made with the
short answer.
397
00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:27,480
So, somebody said, "Will you be going on holiday?"
and the person answered "Yes, I'll."
398
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:33,470
Well, we can't do that because we learned
that when we give the positive short answer,
399
00:29:33,470 --> 00:29:35,890
we can't contract it, right?
400
00:29:35,890 --> 00:29:41,770
We cannot contract it, so you need to say
"Yes, I will."
401
00:29:41,770 --> 00:29:42,980
Alright?
402
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:45,870
We can only contract it in the negative form.
403
00:29:45,870 --> 00:29:48,700
We could say, "No, I won't."
404
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:51,700
But "Yes, I will."
405
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:53,200
Very good.
406
00:29:53,200 --> 00:30:00,190
Now, sometimes mistakes are - actually very
often, mistakes are made when framing questions
407
00:30:00,190 --> 00:30:05,970
because we have to change the order of questions,
the order of the words in the question.
408
00:30:05,970 --> 00:30:11,820
Sometimes, that can be a little bit confusing,
so always pay more attention to a question,
409
00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:15,330
alright, and make sure that you've got that
order right.
410
00:30:15,330 --> 00:30:20,610
So, this person said, "When they will be fixing
the car?"
411
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:23,840
That's incorrect.
412
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,840
How can we fix it?
413
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:38,480
It should be "When will they be fixing the
car?".
414
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,490
Why?
415
00:30:39,490 --> 00:30:43,170
Because right now, this is just a sentence.
416
00:30:43,170 --> 00:30:44,780
They will be fixing the car.
417
00:30:44,780 --> 00:30:50,010
But in - when we make it a question, we need
to change the order, right?
418
00:30:50,010 --> 00:30:52,390
Will they be fixing the car?
419
00:30:52,390 --> 00:30:54,440
When will they be fixing the car?
420
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,440
Right?
421
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,440
So, remember that.
422
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,010
It's really, really important with the questions,
okay?
423
00:30:59,010 --> 00:31:01,630
Be careful that that mistake doesn't happen
to you.
424
00:31:01,630 --> 00:31:06,810
And the last one is, of course, with those
stative verbs, remember, that there's all
425
00:31:06,810 --> 00:31:12,060
those verbs that you cannot use in a continuous
form at all.
426
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:20,680
So, this person said, or sorry, this one says:
Soon, you'll be knowing the future continuous
427
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,960
tense.
428
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:28,820
Well, that's wonderful, but there's a mistake
in it, and the mistake is the stative verb,
429
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:29,820
right?
430
00:31:29,820 --> 00:31:37,550
We cannot say "You will be knowing", so there,
we would just have to make it future simple:
431
00:31:37,550 --> 00:31:42,610
Soon, you will know the future continuous
tense.
432
00:31:42,610 --> 00:31:48,400
And you will not make these kind of mistakes,
you will speak clearly and confidently.
433
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:54,660
So, to review, you have learned the future
continuous tense when you know when to use
434
00:31:54,660 --> 00:32:01,130
it, which we learned, and also how to use
it, which we did practice a lot of together.
435
00:32:01,130 --> 00:32:07,770
So, in other words, by now, you should feel
comfortable doing this, making a positive
436
00:32:07,770 --> 00:32:14,660
sentence, a negative sentence, and a question
using the future continuous tense.
437
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:22,020
For example, you should be able to say easily
"She will be visiting Italy next year."
438
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:26,620
Or, "She won't be visiting Italy next year."
439
00:32:26,620 --> 00:32:31,500
Or, "Will she visiting Italy next year?"
440
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:32,770
Okay?
441
00:32:32,770 --> 00:32:38,690
And when you can do that easily and comfortably
without worrying, without stressing out, without
442
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:44,820
making mistakes, then you have mastered this
tense and of course, also, you should be able
443
00:32:44,820 --> 00:32:51,030
to add those question words such as "When
will she be visiting Italy?"
444
00:32:51,030 --> 00:32:54,760
"How often will she be visiting Italy?", right?
445
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,770
You should be able to do that as well.
446
00:32:56,770 --> 00:33:00,030
So, where do you go from here?
447
00:33:00,030 --> 00:33:01,700
It's like this.
448
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:08,350
By doing the future continuous tense, if you've
been doing the series with us, this is the
449
00:33:08,350 --> 00:33:10,530
last of the basic tenses, okay?
450
00:33:10,530 --> 00:33:16,080
You will probably have finished about six
tenses, and this is the sixth one, the future
451
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,410
continuous tense.
452
00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:25,320
If you feel that you're ready, then please
move on to the next one, because the next
453
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:31,320
tense is the present perfect tense, and with
those perfect tenses, you move to the advanced
454
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:37,330
level and you start doing those advanced tenses,
which are excellent to use.
455
00:33:37,330 --> 00:33:41,980
However, if you're not ready for that, that's
perfectly fine.
456
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:48,290
If you want to feel more confident and just
go over it a little bit more, go back over
457
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:49,310
these tenses.
458
00:33:49,310 --> 00:33:54,470
You can start at the beginning, go through
them, go through them one by one, fill in
459
00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:59,711
any doubts and questions that you have in
your mind, do a little more practice, watch
460
00:33:59,711 --> 00:34:06,600
the lessons, make notes, write the answers,
and also sometimes just leave it on.
461
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,890
Listen to it, right?
462
00:34:07,890 --> 00:34:13,030
Let it go through your head, let me - you
can hear me saying, go back to the base form
463
00:34:13,030 --> 00:34:19,450
of the verb, this is the short answer, and
eventually, that voice, my voice, will become
464
00:34:19,450 --> 00:34:24,730
your voice in your mind, and the answers will
come to you as you're speaking, as you're
465
00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:26,830
writing, and so on, okay?
466
00:34:26,830 --> 00:34:31,839
But, of course, if you're ready and you'd
like to move forward, then please watch the
467
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:36,879
next tense in this series, which is the present
perfect tense, alright?
468
00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:41,879
And, last of all, if you'd like a little more
practice in this particular tense, the future
469
00:34:41,879 --> 00:34:48,200
continuous tense, please go to www.engvid.com,
where you can do a quiz on this.
470
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:53,119
And congratulations once again on learning
all of these wonderful tenses which will allow
471
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:57,930
you to speak in so much more of a confident,
fluent manner.39526
