GRAMMAR:
A.THE FUTURE COUNTINUOUS:

Review
We use the future continuous tense to express being in the
process of doing something at a specifi c time in the future.
Example:
Tonight at 8.30 p.m. Mai will be watching Frozen
again at home. She loves it!
(She will be in the process of watching the film at 8.30 p.m.)
Look out!
We often include a specific time when using the future continuous.

Watch out!
Some verbs such as love, hate, prefer can be followed by both a gerund and to-infinitive without significant change in meaning.
1/ Listen again to part of the conversation in GETTING STARTED. Underline the future continuous tense and answer the questions.
Phuc: … How about this Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m.? There’s Superman 3.
Nick: Great…, but I’ll be having my Vietnamese class then. Let’s go for the 4.15 p.m. show. I’ll need to take the bus to Nguyen Du
Street and it’s quite far.
