Grammar Blues We can use the future continuous to talk about something that is predicted - it will happen, or, to start before a particular point in future time, and that may continue after the point that you referring to. And often, its the result of a previous decision or arrangement that you may have made eg: She will be entering her university next September. When we head up to the mountain, well be carrying twenty kilo packs. It can also be used interchangeably with the present continuous when we talk about arranged events or activities for the future eg: Well actually be leaving for Osaka at nine oclock in the morning next week. OR We are actually leaving for Osaka at nine oclock in the morning next week. Well be playing tennis on Saturday. OR We are playing tennis on Saturday.
