Use the future continuous to describe an activity in progress at a particular time in the future.

Form: will + be + verb-ing

  • This time tomorrow = at the same time tomorrow.
  • At 3 p.m. tomorrow = at that particular future moment.
  • When you arrive = at the future moment of your arrival. Use the present simple after when.

Compare: At 3 p.m., we will be testing the robot. The testing will be in progress. By 3 p.m., we will have tested it. The testing will be complete.

Complete the sentences using the future continuous and the verbs in brackets. Use full forms.
