English Grammar Secrets - Tenses - will be doing

We can use ‘will be doing’ to talk about something that will be in progress at a particular moment in the future.

English Grammar: Will – other uses

 

Older textbooks often refer to ‘will’ as ‘the future tense’ and this has confused a lot of learners.

It is important to remember that when we talk about the future we cannot always use ‘will’ and that when we use ‘will’ we are not always talking about the future.

English Grammar: Will Future

Some people have been taught that ‘will’ is ‘the future’ in English. This is not correct. Sometimes when we talk about the future we cannot use ‘will’. Sometimes when we use ‘will’ we are not talking about the future.
