Question

Fill in the blanks with the Future Continuous form of the verb given in the bracket:
He_______________ not _____________________ his friends. (cheat)

Answer 1

Hint: The form that is used in future continuous tense is – will + be + verb + ing. You can use this construction to form the words that will complete the sentence. The word will talk of the future and -ing is the verb form we use in the future continuous tense.

Complete answer:

The future continuous tense, which is also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a verb tense that indicates – something will occur in the future and will continue for an expected length of time.
The construction form used for future continuous tense is – will + be + the present participle (or the root verb + ing).
In the above question, the verb given to us is – cheat. And as you can see that the sentence is in negative form, i.e. ‘not’ is used. So, when we have a negative sentence the construction for this verb tense would be – will not + be + root verb + ing.
So, by using the above-given instruction we will get – ‘will not be cheating’ for the future continuous tense of the verb ‘cheat’.
So, the correct sentence would be – ‘He will not be cheating his friends’.

Note: You should be aware of the concept and usage and forms of tense. So that way you can easily change the given verb (in the bracket) into its future continuous tense. Remember words like - will and shall are used to indicate future tense.
