Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: At 9 PM tonight, my sister ___ her favourite TV show.

Question 1 options
'will be watching' is correct because the future continuous tense is formed with 'will be' + the -ing form of the verb to describe an action in progress at a specific future time. 'will watch' uses the simple future, 'is watching' uses the present continuous, and 'will watching' omits 'be'.
Q2 15

Question 2: By this time tomorrow, the workers ___ the new bridge.

Question 2 options
'will be building' is correct because the future continuous requires 'will be' + verb-ing to show an action that will be in progress at a specific future moment. 'will built' and 'will builds' are not valid verb forms, and 'are building' refers to the present, not tomorrow.
Q3 15

Question 3: In the future continuous tense, the negative is formed by placing 'not' between 'will' and 'be', giving the structure: subject + will not be + verb(-ing).

Question 3 options
True. The negative future continuous is formed as 'subject + will not be + verb(-ing)', for example, 'She will not be working on Saturday.' A common error is placing 'not' after 'be' or before 'will'.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which situation correctly uses the future continuous tense?

Question 4 options
'Describing an action that will be in progress at a specific point in the future' is the core use of the future continuous. It is not used for completed past events, general truths, or habitual present actions.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • to Paris
  • at this time tomorrow
  • will be flying
  • They

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'They will be flying to Paris at this time tomorrow' because the future continuous follows the structure subject + will be + verb(-ing), followed by the time expression.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'We will be waiting for you outside the station' is correct because it uses 'will be' + verb-ing. 'We will be wait' omits the -ing, 'We will being waiting' incorrectly uses 'being', and 'We be waiting tomorrow' omits 'will'.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: 'I need to speak to the manager.' B: 'She's in a meeting right now, but she ___ the new staff at 3 PM — you could wait.' Which option best completes B's response?

Question 7 options
'will be training' is correct because the context describes a scheduled, ongoing activity at a specific future time (3 PM), which is the future continuous. 'trained' is past tense, 'will train' uses the simple future without showing the action is in progress, and 'has trained' uses the present perfect.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses the future continuous (not the simple future)?

Question 8 options
'I will be meeting the director at noon tomorrow' correctly uses the future continuous to show an ongoing, scheduled action at a specific time. The other options all use 'will' without 'be' + -ing, making them simple future rather than future continuous.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • Will
  • be joining
  • this evening?
  • you
  • us for dinner

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'Will you be joining us for dinner this evening?' because future continuous questions follow the structure: Will + subject + be + verb(-ing) + rest of sentence.
Q10 15

Question 10: Next Friday at 6 PM, the chef ___ for the restaurant's special guests.

Question 10 options
'will be cooking' is correct because it shows an action in progress at a specific future time (next Friday at 6 PM), which is the core use of the future continuous. 'cooks' is simple present, 'cooked' is past tense, and 'has been cooking' is present perfect continuous.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about the future continuous tense is true?

Question 11 options
The future continuous can be used to ask about someone's plans in a polite, indirect way, for example, 'Will you be attending the event?' This is softer than the simple future 'Will you attend?' The tense is not limited to negative sentences, does not require a past time marker, and can be used without 'when' clauses.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite in the future continuous: 'The team prepares the report.' → The team ___ the report at this time next week.

Question 12 options
'will be preparing' is the correct future continuous form, using 'will be' + the -ing form of 'prepare'. 'will prepared' and 'will prepares' are not valid forms, and 'is preparing' is the present continuous, not the future continuous.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct use of the future continuous tense.

Question 13 options
Will you be using the car tonight? I need a lift.
She will be giving a presentation when the guests arrive.
They will be studying while we watch the match.
The plane will be landing at 7 AM based on the schedule.
Two simultaneous future actions
Action in progress interrupted by another future event
Polite inquiry about future plans
Prediction based on a fixed schedule

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

The future continuous tense is used for: actions in progress at a future time, two simultaneous future actions, polite inquiries about plans, and predictions based on a schedule.
Q14 15

Question 14: The future continuous tense can be used with stative verbs such as 'know', 'believe', and 'prefer' in the same way it is used with action verbs.

Question 14 options
False. Stative verbs (e.g., 'know', 'believe', 'prefer') do not normally take the continuous form in any tense, including the future continuous. You would say 'She will know the answer' rather than 'She will be knowing the answer'.
Q15 15

Question 15: A colleague asks about your plans. Which sentence sounds most polite and appropriate in a formal workplace context?

Question 15 options
'Will you be attending the conference next Monday?' uses the future continuous for a polite inquiry, which is softer and more appropriate in formal settings than the direct simple future question. The other options are either informal, past tense, or ungrammatical.
