In this grammar refresh, we'll be looking at the future continuous verb to.
So this is the future and tenuous tense.
Now, this is a verb tense that you will use to describe some event that is happening in the future.
And we're focusing on the duration of this event at the action itself, but the time frame, the duration
of it in the future.
But we'll always have some kind of eye marker or time frame in mind happening in the future.
So make this verb tense, all you have to do is you have the.
Verb to be.
So just use the verb without to just be you have your main verb that has an angry ending and then in
the beginning you're going to use will but will be.
And then your main verb.
That's it.
This is how you make the future continuous.
So let's look at our examples so we can see how to do this.
The first sentences will be eating, relaxing, swimming and doing all sorts of things.
This summer will be the best.
So now in this sentence, we have many angry verbs.
You can see eating, relaxing women doing it, but they all belong to that beginning part will be.
And so we don't have to write will be for each of the words.
We can use that one time and apply it to each one when we have a series of verbs like this.
So we'll be eating relaxing women and doing all sorts of things.
This summer will be the best.
So that second sentence gives us that time frame in the future of when these actions will be taking
place.
Right.
The duration of these actions during summer, they'll be eating.
They'll be relaxing during that whole time of summer.
Let's look at our second example.
How long will you be staying there?
For five days, I'm dreading it, I'll be staying in a tiny hotel room with my colleague who thought
that having a business conference in July is a great idea.
So here we have a question using the future continuous tense, how long will you be staying there?
And you'll notice that we use you between the will and the B, and so that subject in the question form,
it's placed between Will and B, how long will you be staying there or how long will Don be staying
there?
How long will she be staying there?
Whatever the subject of that question is.
The second use of it in this example is I'll be staying.
I'll be staying.
I'll is a contraction of I will oh, we will be staying.
This is that future continuous tense.
OK, and you can see in these examples, they're giving us these time frames in the future for five
days.
I'll be staying there for five days.
But the future continuous is implying that this action, the duration is happening for these whole five
days in the future.
In this Granma refresh, we'll be looking at the use of the phrase AFTA, they have to.
So this race or these two words put together have to it means something that is required, something
we have to do.
It's more than something you should do.
Not a suggestion.
It's something that you are required and necessary to do.
Now you can see that it can mean something that you.
Are required to do it, but a lot of times people will use it in a question to ask about something because
they don't want to do it.
Let's see how this works in our examples.
The first example, you're going to be helping me out with cooking.
Do we really have to cook?
Why not just order takeout?
And so you can see in this example, the person is using it in a question.
I mean, they don't want to do it.
Why can't we just do something else?
Right.
So the person is saying, you're going to be helping me with cooking.
And the other person is saying, do we really have to cook or do we have to cook?
That's meaning I don't want to cook what's it called, let's get out of here, we're using it in a way
to suggest something we don't want to do.
In the next example, it says, I'll have to work as a waiter at my parents place this summer and they
haven't found anyone to fill the hours, and so I'll have to work.
So this means they have to work as a waiter, right?
They don't have a choice.
It's necessary.
I'll have to work now when you hear people say this phrase right.
A lot of times the V in have.
Isn't very clear, and sometimes it's kind of an F sound, so one common mistake is people will write
f h a l f, right.
So.
Make sure you understand that even though the sound kind of comes across when you're speaking, it is
have.
And hear the F sound, sort of.
