    The future continuous tense is used to indicate that an action will be in progress at a particular time in the future. It is formed by using the future auxiliary verb “will” followed by the verb “be” in its base form, and then the present participle form of the main verb (ending in -ing). For example, “I will be studying at 8 PM tomorrow.”

    Nuances of the future continuous tense include:

    1. Emphasis on Duration: The future continuous tense emphasizes the continuous or ongoing nature of an action that will be taking place at a specific time in the future. It conveys the idea that the action will be in progress for a period of time.

    2. Planned Actions: This tense is often used to talk about planned activities in the future. It suggests that the action is part of a schedule or arrangement.

    3. Polite Offers or Requests: The future continuous tense can also be used to make polite offers or requests for the future. For example, “I’ll be coming to visit you next weekend.”

    In comparison, the simple future tense is more commonly used to talk about simple, single actions that will occur in the future without emphasizing the duration or continuity of the action. For example, “I will study tomorrow.” It does not necessarily imply that the action will be ongoing or in progress at a specific time in the future.

    Overall, the future continuous tense is used when you want to focus on the ongoing nature of an action at a specific future time
