Future progressive tense is used to indicate action which will be taking place at some time in the future.

For example,

• • I will be singing at Symphony Hall next month.

• • We’ll be leaving next Monday.

• When you arrive, I’ll be cooking dinner.

The future progressive tense is formed by adding will be to the ?ing form of the main verb.

• • She will be coming around the mountain in a few minutes.

• She’ll be riding a white horse into town.

The future progressive tense is not as common as other tenses, and it can some-times be replaced by simple future, present progressive or even simple present.

• • I’ll be leaving in a few minutes.

• • I’ll leave in a few minutes.

• • I’m going to leave in a few minutes.

• • I’m leaving in a few minutes.

• I leave in a few minutes.
