Uses (Usos)

A diferencia del futuro simple, las dos formas del futuro continuo significan casi lo mismo y son intercambiables. También, los usos del futuro continuo son los mismos del pasado continuo, en que se usa para acciones que pasarán en un momento especifico, pero en el futuro.

1. El futuro continuo lo utilizamos para una acción larga que pasará en el futuro y será interrumpida. La acción que se interrumpe está en el futuro continuo y la acción que provoca la interrupción está en el presente simple.

o Ejemplos:

o Play

Jose will be [is going to be] watching the news when you call. (Jose estará mirando las noticias cuando le llames.)

o Play

Will it be [Is it going to be] raining when l leave? (¿Estará lloviendo cuando salga?)

2. Se usa el futuro continuo para hablar sobre acciones en un tiempo específico en el futuro.

o Ejemplos:

o Play

Paula will be [is going to be] living in Spain next April. (Paula estará viviendo en España el próximo abril.)

o Play

We'll still be working [We're still going to be working] at 10 o'clock tomorrow night.(Todavía estaremos trabajando a las 10 mañana por la noche.)
