Hi, everybody.

I'm Esther.

Let's start a checkup for the future continuous tense.

Take a look at the first sentence.

It says, ‘They _blank_ at school tomorrow.’

I want you to usewill' and then the verbstudy’, for this tense.

Remember, in the future continuous tense,

no matter what the subject, we saywill beand then verb +ing.

So the correct answer for this sentence isthey will be studying

They will be studying at school tomorrow.’

The next sentence says.

Jesse _blank_ a TV show later.’

Here, instead ofwilltry to usebe going to be’.

Jesse _blank_ watch a TV show later.’

I want you to use the verbwatch’.

So, Jessie is aheor it can be ashe’.

Sometimes the name is used for a boy or a girl.

Either way I need to use thebeverb – ‘is’.

Jesse is going to be

and then we need verb +ing.

Jesse is going to be watching a TV show later.’

The next sentence, I want you to find the mistake.

We willn't be studying at the library today.’

We will not …’

What's the contraction forwill not’?

Well it definitely isn'twilln't’.

The contraction iswon't’.

We won't be studying at the library today.’

And finally, ‘Sally and I will be meet our friends soon.’

Remember, we needwill beand then verb +ing.

So the correct answer is,

Sally and I will be meeting our friends soon.’

Good job, everyone.

Let's move on.

Now, let's move on to the next checkup of the future continuous tense.

Take a look at the first sentence.

It says, ‘He _blank_ at the door when the movie ends.’

I want you to usewilland the verbwait’.

Remember, for this tense, we needwill beand then verb +ing,

so the correct answer is,

He will be waiting at the door when the movie ends.’

The next sentence says, ‘We are not …’ so this is a negative,

‘_blank_ the play when he performs’.

Here, instead ofwill’, I want you to usebe going to beand the verbsee’.

We already have part of that phrase for you.

We are …’, here's thebeverb, ‘not

so this is negative.

And then we saygoing to be

and then verb +ing.

We are not going to be seeing the play when he performs.’

Now find the mistake in this sentence.

They won't be stay at home when the delivery man visits.’

They won't be

That's correct in the negative form.

However, we need verb +ing.

They won't be staying at home when the delivery man visits.’

And finally, ‘Terry is going to working when the manager arrives’.

Terryis aheorshesoisis the correctbeverb to use.

going tothat's also correct.

What we're missing here isbe’.

Terry is going to be working when the manager arrives.’

Good job, everybody.
