Resumen

Tal vez ya tengas planes para mañana o para la semana que viene y sepas qué estarás haciendo. Expresar tus acciones futuras te permitirá hablar de tus planes que estarán en progreso pronto.

Acciones futuras en progreso

Seguro ya conoces el presente continuo y el pasado continuo para hablar de lo que están haciendo en este momento o lo que hiciste en el pasado, donde se utilizan verbos en su forma gerundio, o terminados en -ing. También existe el futuro continuo para expresar planes futuros, donde utilizamos la siguiente gramática:

Oraciones positivas: Subject + will be + verb (-ing form)
Oraciones negativas Subject + will not be + verb (-ing form)

Veamos algunos ejemplos:

I will be watching TV all day long tomorrow.
He will be working all weekend.
He will not be receiving the promotion.
They will be traveling to California.
I will not be reading this night.

Con este sencillo vocabulario, ya sabes expresar tus planes futuros o las acciones que estarás llevando a cabo pronto.

This year, I'll be learning English every day for at least 30 minutes. This summer, I'll be working on my projects. This winter won't be cooler than the last one.

I decided a while ago, exactly in January, that I will be finishing all of the English courses that Platzi offers by the end of the year, in order to never stop learning.

here's my doubt about the promotion example: If I said,

Someone should tell Michael that he will not be receiving the promotion. It's not actually the same as saying:
Someone should tell Michael that he will not receive the promotion.

To me, as a non-native speaker, it's the same. Can somebody clarify this for me?

Well nop, but is grammatically correct. The difference, is we're talking about future actions that are ongoing, ongoing as the main theme. In Michel's context, I guess is not relevant, whether the gerund is or not. But in some cases it is.

Hi Seyna. I have a question about "come over tonight" example. Why the B option is the correct and not A option? For me, both two could be a good answer. Or there's something wrong about the A option that i haven't catch yet?

The future continuous tense is used to describe actions that will be in progress at a specific point in the future. It follows the structure: subject + "will be" + verb + "ing." For example, "I will be studying at 10 PM tomorrow" indicates that studying will be happening continuously at that specific time.

In negative form, it becomes "subject + will not be + verb + ing," like "I will not be attending the meeting." This indicates that the action will not be ongoing at that future time. Understanding when to use this tense helps convey ongoing future activities effectively.
