USAGE:
When actions are happening in the future, in the usual course this tense is used. These are expected to happen:
He will be attending the session till Saturday.
I shall be joining the team on Christmas.
They will be taking an assignment for the holidays tomorrow.
When we expect the future without any idea or intention:
She won't be preparing well for her exams.
He won't be making a good fortune.
In a formal way to ask, "please" use the tense with the structure going to:
I am going to be busy whole the day tomorrow, so I won't have time to meet you again.
Raju and Rani are going to be celebrating their marriage anniversary, so I won't grant you any leave for the same.
In a usual way we speak in this tense instead of the Simple Future Tense:
I shall be giving notes in detail in my next class.
(The Future Continuous Tense )
I shall give notes in detail in my next class.
( The Simple Future Tense )
We usually express planned actions in the Present Continuous Tense. When the same idea is expressed in the Future Continuous Tense it reveals a surprise or unexpected activity:
We are launching a new album at 5 p.m in the evening.
( General activity )
We shall be launching a new album at 5 p.m in the evening.
( Unexpected activity )
