The future progressive tense indicates a continuing action that will be going on at some point in the future.

In general, progressive forms occur only with the so-called dynamic verbs; they do not occur with stative verbs.

It is formed with the modal "will" plus "be," plus the present participle of the verb i.e. a verb with an ing ending.

How could we express future progressive? will         be    Verb + ing

We mainly use the Future Continuous to indicate that we will be in the middle of doing something in a specified time in the future: e.g. “In an hour, I will be sitting in front of my TV.”

Other uses are:

·       For guesses about the future: e.g. “He won't be coming any time soon. He is still at the office.”

·       For polite questions about somebody's intentions: g. “Will you be coming home before or after 10 PM?”

·       For an action that has been planned: e.g. “They will be going on vacation this summer.”

 

 

the future progressive is used to express 1" a continous action which is fairly sitting in the future eg:i will be doing it all day,hurry up,the guests will be arriving soon 2" in uncertain action eg ;we will open a new office in Sohol 3" action in progress in the future in which the precise time we do not know eg:thank you very much for coming to the interview M, Scott we will be contacting all the candidats next week 4 " to visualize a particular future eg; i will be working at 4;00 pm 5" for habitual action ,a matter of routine  eg; the milk man will be coming tomorrow.
