Uses (Usos)

Al diferencia del futuro simple, las dos formas del futuro continuo significan casi lo mismo y son intercambiables. También, los usos del futuro continuo son los mismos del pasado continuo, pero en el futuro.

1. El futuro continuo lo utilizamos para una acción larga que pasará en el futuro y estará interrumpido.
   • Ejemplos:
   • Jose will be watching the news when you call.

     Play

     Jose will be [Jose's going to be] watching the news when you call. (Jose estará mirando las noticias cuando le llames.)
   • Is it going to be raining when I leave?

     Play

     Will it be [Is it going to be] raining when l leave? (¿Estará lloviendo cuando salga?)
2. Se usa el futuro continuo para hablar sobre acciones en un tiempo específico en el futuro.
   • Ejemplos
   • Paula will be living in Spain next April.

     Play

     Paula will be [Paula's going to be] living in Spain next April. (Paula estará viviendo en España el próximo abril.)
   • We're still going to be working at 10 o'clock tomorrow night.

     Play

     We'll still be working [We're still going to be working] at 10 o'clock tomorrow night. (Todavía estaremos trabajando a las 10 mañana por la noche.)
3. Se usa el futuro continuo para dos acciones que estarán al mismo tiempo en el futuro.
   • Ejemplos
   • My son will be reading while I'm going to be cooking.

     Play

     My son will be [is going to be] reading while I will be [I'm going to be] cooking. (Mi hijo estará leyendo mientras que yo estaré cocinando.)
