You already know "will" for simple facts about the future. Now you'll add two more precise tools: the Future Continuous ("I'll be flying") for something in progress at a specific future moment, and the Future Perfect ("I will have finished") for something completed before a specific future moment.
Why this matters This lesson connects directly to your progress: it covers the Future Continuous; the Future Perfect; telling the three future forms apart. Mastering this content lets you move forward confidently, and reinforces patterns you'll use again later. Take time to review every example before moving to the assessment — repetition is what actually locks knowledge in long-term.
01
The goals of this lesson.
02
You already know "will" and "going to" for simple future facts and plans. This lesson adds two more precise future forms for talking about actions in progress or completed at a specific future moment.
03
Use "will be + -ing" for an action that will be in progress at a specific point in the future.
| Form | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| will be + -ing | action in progress at a future moment | I'll be flying tomorrow. |
Examples
04
Use "will have + past participle" for an action that will be completed before a specific point in the future.
| Form | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| will have + past participle | completed before a future moment | I will have finished by then. |
Examples
05
The same basic idea can be expressed three ways, depending on how precise you want to be: simple future (just a fact), future continuous (in progress at that moment), or future perfect (finished before that moment).
Examples
06
Read the text and answer the questions. You can try as many times as you want.
Next year will be a big one for Elena. By June, she will have finished her master's degree, and by September, she'll be starting a new job in another city. "This time next year, I'll be living somewhere completely different," she says.
Her friends are planning a party for her. "By the time she graduates, we will have organized everything," says her best friend. "She'll be so surprised — she won't be expecting anything, because she'll be too busy studying for finals."
1. What will Elena have finished by June?
2. What will she be doing by September?
3. Who is planning a party for Elena?
4. Why won't Elena expect the party?
5. What will be true "by the time she graduates"?
💪 You can now talk about the future with real precision — in progress, completed, or just a simple fact. Keep going with B2!
