Future Continuous Tense

The Future Continuous tense is used when we will be doing something in a near future. It's a future action in progress. The structure of the future continuous tense is:

subject+auxiliary verb WILL+auxiliary verb BE+main verb

invariable
invariable
present participle
willbebase + ing

 Examples:
 - Along the next days, she will be studying for the test. 
- I will be correcting some pieces of homework by the end of the year.
- He will not (won't) be waiting for his girlfriend if she arrives late again for their next appointment.
- We will be working in the project next month. 

There is also the future continuous tense with "be going to". This form is far less used than the first form. The Future Continuous tense "Be Going to" is formed by:
am/is/are + going to be + present continuous.

Examples:
- You are going to be playing guitar in that band, aren't you?
- She is going to be working tomorrow night.
