future continuous question

Future continuous describes ongoing actions that will happen in the future. The ‘yes/no’ question form follows this structure:

Will + subject + be + verb-ing?

Will we be seeing you again?

listen

A question word can be added:

What will you be doing in Boston?

listen

Note that “will” indicates the future, the auxiliary verb “be,” and finally the main verb in its continuous form (verb-ing).

The subject is not always between ‘will’ and ‘be’:

What will be happening in the next five minutes?
