How do we use the future continuous?

We use the future continuous to refer to an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. This action is normally in progress when something else happens.

 

For example: Imagine that it is your birthday on the 31st January, you will say…

I will be celebrating my birthday on January 31st.

I will have celebrated my birthday on the 1st February.

 

Form: SUBJECT + WILL + BE + GERUND (ING)

+ I will be doing an exam at 7 pm when you arrive.

– I will not be reading by the time you arrive.

? Will you still be working out at the gym when I come in?
