Sentence on the board.
"I will be fixing the engine tomorrow at 10 a.m."
Today, we're going to explore the future continuous tense. Let's start with this sentence on the board. Take a moment to read it and tell me, what tense is this sentence in? Raise your hand when you have an answer.
Student 1: It's in the future tense!
Teacher: That's correct! But more specifically, it's an example of the future continuous tense. The future continuous tense is used to talk about ongoing actions or events that will happen in the future. In this case, the action is "fixing the engine," and it will happen tomorrow at 10 a.m.
Use of the Future Continuous Tense.
Teacher: So, when we use the future continuous tense, we're talking about actions or events that will be happening in the future and will have a duration or continuity. Can anyone think of another example using the future continuous tense? Raise your hand and share your example.
Учень 1: В майбутньому часі!
Вчитель: Правильно! А якщо точніше, це приклад майбутнього тривалого часу. Майбутній тривалий час вживається, щоб повідомити про дії або події які тривають, і будуть мати місце в майбутньому. В даному випадку дія «лагодити двигун», буде мати місце завтра о 10 ранку.
Вживання Future Continuous Tense.
Учитель: Отже, коли ми виживаємо майбутній безперервний час, ми говоримо про дії чи події, які відбуватимуться в майбутньому та характеризуються тривалістю або безперервністю. Хто приведе інший приклад із використанням майбутнього тривалого часу? Підніміть руку і поділіться своїм прикладом.
The sentence by the student 2.
"They will be sailing to the next port next week."
Student 2: They will be sailing to the next port next week.
Teacher: Excellent! "They will be sailing to the next port next week." That's a great example of the future continuous tense. Can someone else give us one more example?
Student 3: She will be studying for her engineering exam tonight.
Teacher: Perfect! "She will be studying for her engineering exam tonight." Another great example. Notice how in these examples, we have the structure "will be" followed by the base form of the verb with "-ing" at the end.
Next sentence on the board.
"She will be studying for her engineering exam tonight."
Teacher: Make sure you understand the structure of the future continuous tense:
"will be" + verb + -ing
We use this tense to talk about planned actions or events in the future that we expect to happen over a period of time.
Take a moment to review these examples and the structure on the board. This will help us as we delve deeper into the future continuous tense.
Ми вживаємо цей час, щоб говорити про заплановані дії чи події в майбутньому, які, як ми очікуємо, і які відбудуться протягом певного періоду часу.
Знайдіть хвилинку, щоб переглянути ці приклади та структуру на дошці. Це допоможе нам, коли ми детеальніше будемо розглядати майбутній тивалий час.
Teacher: Now that we have a better understanding of the future continuous tense, let's dive into its form and structure. The future continuous tense is formed using the following pattern:
subject + will be + present participle, which is the base verb with "-ing" at the end
[Teacher writes the sentence "I will be working" on the board.]
Teacher: Take a look at this simple sentence on the board:
"I will be working"
I want you to pay attention to two key components here: "will be" and "working."
[Teacher underlines "will be" and "working" on the board.]
Teacher: "Will be" is the auxiliary verb "will" followed by "be," and it indicates the future tense. The main verb "working" is in the present participle form with "-ing" at the end. Together, they form the future continuous tense.
Now, let's explore more examples together. I'll provide some sentences, and I want you to identify the different components of the future continuous tense. Raise your hand and tell me what you notice.
Example 1: She will be studying for her exams.
Example 2: They will be traveling to Europe next summer.
Example 3: We will be celebrating her birthday next week.
Приклад 1: Вона буде готуватися до іспитів.
Приклад 2: Наступного літа вони будуть подорожувати по Європі.
Приклад 3: Наступного тижня ми будемо святкувати її день народження.
Student 1: In all the examples, "will be" is the auxiliary verb.
Teacher: That's right! "Will be" is the auxiliary verb that indicates the future tense.
Student 2: The main verbs are "studying," "traveling," and "celebrating," and they all end in "-ing."
Teacher: Excellent! The main verbs are in the present participle form, with "-ing" at the end. These verbs show the ongoing nature of the actions.
By identifying these components, you can form sentences in the future continuous tense and express ongoing actions that will happen in the future.
Now, let's practice a bit more. In pairs, I want you to create your own sentences using the future continuous tense. Make sure to include the subject, the auxiliary verb "will be," and the present participle form of the verb. Be ready to share your sentences with the class.
Учень 1: У всіх прикладах «will be» - це допоміжне дієслово.
Вчитель: Правильно! "Буде" - це допоміжне дієслово, яке вказує на майбутній час.
Учень 2: Основними дієсловами являються «навчання», «мандрування» та «святкування», усі вони мають закінчення «-ing».
Вчитель: Чудово! Основні дієслова мають форму дієприкметника теперішнього часу з закінченням «-ing». Ці дієслова показують постійний характер дій.
Визначивши ці складові, ви можете утворити речення в майбутньому тривалому часі та виразити тривалі дії, які маютимуть місце в майбутньому.
А тепер давайте ще трохи потренуємося. Працюємо в парах, я хочу щоб ви склали власні речення з використанням майбутнього тривалого часу. Не забудьте включити підмет, допоміжне дієслово «will be» і форму дієприкметника теперішнього часу. Будьте готові поділитися своїми реченнями з класом.

Which sentence correctly uses the future continuous tense in the context of ship's motormen?
a) The engine will start tomorrow.
b) I will be monitoring the temperature while the ship is sailing.
c) They are inspecting the fuel system yesterday.
Ansewer: b) I will be monitoring the temperature while the ship is sailing.
Explanation: This sentence correctly uses the future continuous tense to indicate an action that will be ongoing in the future. The motorman will be actively monitoring the temperature while the ship is sailing.
What is the correct structure of the future continuous tense for ship's motormen?
a) Subject + will be + present participle
b) Subject + be + present participle
c) Subject + will be + base verb
Ansewer: The correct structure of the future continuous tense for ship's motormen is: a) Subject + will be + present participle
Explanation: As in:
- The ship's motorman will be maintaining the engines during the voyage.
- We will be inspecting the fuel levels throughout the journey.
In these sentences, "will be" is the helping verb indicating future tense, and "maintaining," "inspecting," are the present participles (verb + -ing) that show ongoing action. This structure is used for actions that will be happening at a specific time in the future.
Choose the sentence that does NOT use the future continuous tense in the context of ship's motormen.
a) We will be adjusting the valves during the maintenance.
b) They will be operating the machinery at the port.
c) He is checking the oil level right now.
Ansewer: c) He is checking the oil level right now.
Explanation: This sentence uses the present continuous tense ("is checking") to describe an action that is happening at the current moment. It does not express a future ongoing action, which is the characteristic of the future continuous tense.
What is the auxiliary verb used in the future continuous tense for ship's motormen?
a) have
b) be
c) do
Ansewer: b) be
Explanation: The auxiliary verb "be" is used in the future continuous tense to indicate an ongoing action that will take place in the future. It is combined with the main verb in its present participle form (-ing form) to create the future continuous tense. In the context of ship's motormen, the future continuous tense can be used to describe actions that will be happening continuously in the future, such as monitoring, adjusting, or operating machinery.
Which of the following sentences is an example of the future continuous tense for ship's motormen?
a) I fix the engine every day.
b) She will be monitoring the pressure during the voyage.
c) They inspected the machinery last week.
Ansewer: b) She will be monitoring the pressure during the voyage.
Explanation: This sentence uses the future continuous tense correctly by combining the auxiliary verb "will be" (indicating future) with the present participle verb form "monitoring." The use of "will be monitoring" indicates that the action of monitoring the pressure will be ongoing during the voyage. This construction is characteristic of the future continuous tense.
Identify the correct form of the future continuous tense for ship's motormen:
a) I will be repair the engine.
b) We will be inspecting the components tomorrow.
c) He is be operating the equipment.
Ansewer: b) We will be inspecting the components tomorrow.
Explanation: This is the correct form because it follows the structure of "subject + will be + present participle (-ing form of the verb)" which is used to form the future continuous tense. In this case, the subject is "We" and the action taking place is "inspecting the components."
What is the base verb form of "monitoring" in the sentence: "I will be monitoring the engine temperature"?
a) monitor
b) monitors
c) monitoring
Ansewer: c) monitoring
Explanation: The base verb form of "monitoring" in the sentence is "monitor." This is because the sentence is in the future continuous tense (will be monitoring), and the verb "monitor" is used in its base form without any changes.
Choose the sentence that uses the future continuous tense correctly for ship's motormen:
a) The ship is sailing to the next port.
b) We will be maintaining the machinery tonight.
c) She fixes the engine regularly.
Ansewer: b) We will be maintaining the machinery tonight.
Explanation: This sentence uses the future continuous tense correctly by combining the auxiliary verb "will be" (indicating future) with the present participle verb form "maintaining." The structure "will be maintaining" indicates an ongoing action in the future, implying that the motormen will be continuously engaged in the process of maintaining the machinery throughout the night.
Option a) uses the present progressive tense ("is sailing") to describe an action happening at the current moment, which is not in the future.
Option c) uses the simple present tense ("fixes") to describe a regular activity, rather than an ongoing action in the future.
Which part of the sentence indicates the future continuous tense for ship's motormen?
a) The subject
b) The auxiliary verb "will be"
c) The main verb in the base form
Ansewer: b) The auxiliary verb "will be"
Explanation: "I will be monitoring the system tomorrow" is an example of the future continuous tense. In this sentence, the main verb "monitoring" is in its base form "monitor." The use of the auxiliary verb "will be" indicates the future tense, and the -ing form of the verb "monitoring" indicates the continuous aspect.
In the sentence "They will be inspecting the equipment during the routine check," what is the present participle form of the verb?
a) inspect
b) inspecting
c) inspects
Ansewer: b) inspecting
Explanation: The present participle form is used in the present continuous or future continuous tenses and ends in "-ing." In this sentence, "inspecting" is the present participle form of the verb "inspect." It is used correctly in the future continuous tense to describe the ongoing action of inspecting the equipment during the routine check that will take place in the future.
Teacher: Great job, everyone! You're getting the hang of the future continuous tense. Keep practicing and using it to describe ongoing actions in the future.
Teacher: Now that we have learned about the form and structure of the future continuous tense, let's explore its usage in the context of your work as ship's motormen.

Teacher: Fantastic job, everyone! You've demonstrated a good understanding of the usage of the future continuous tense in the context of ship's motormen. Keep practicing and incorporating this tense into your communication about ongoing actions or events in the future.
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate form of the verb in parentheses, using the future continuous tense. Pay attention to the context of ship operations and the actions that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future.
Note: The future continuous tense is used to describe ongoing actions that will happen at a specific time in the future. It is formed by using "will be" followed by the present participle (verb + -ing). In the context of ship operations, this exercise aims to reinforce understanding of how the future continuous tense is applied in relation to the tasks and responsibilities of ship's motormen.
By this time tomorrow, the ship's motormen [...] (monitor) the engine room closely.
Answer: By this time tomorrow, the ship's motormen will be monitoring (monitor) the engine room closely.
Explanation:
The Future Continuous tense is used in the sentence "By this time tomorrow, the ship's motormen will be monitoring the engine room closely" to express an ongoing action that will be happening at a specific future time.
In this case, "will be monitoring" is the Future Continuous tense. The auxiliary verb "will be" indicates the future, while "monitoring" is the present participle form of the verb "monitor."
