Future progressive: cos’è e quando si usa
Il future continuous o progressive è un tempo verbale inglese che indica un’azione che si svolgerà in un periodo di tempo futuro. Per esempio la frase:
I will be studying all day
è un esempio di future progressive e
✔️ Indica un’azione che ha una durata.
✔️ Si riferisce a un particolare momento nel futuro.
In effetti il future continuous è un tempo verbale analogo al Present continuous, con la differenza che si riferisce ad azioni future.
Come si forma il futuro progressivo inglese
La formazione del future continuous è molto semplice, ed è uguale per tutte le persone. Ecco uno schema 👇
| Affermativa | Soggetto + will + be + ing form del verbo | She will be dancing. |
| Negativa | Soggetto + won’t + be + ing form del verbo | She won’t be dancing |
| Interrogativa | Will+ soggetto + be +ing form del verbo | Will she be dancing? |
| Interrogativa negativa | Won’t+ soggetto + be +ing form del verbo | Won’t she be dancing? |
Quando si usa il future continuous
Questa verb tense si usa essenzialmente in due casi. Vediamoli.
Azione in svolgimento nel futuro
Il future progressive si usa per descrivere un’azione in svolgimento prima, dopo o durante un’altra azione o uno specifico momento nel futuro.
Sono esempi di questo uso le frasi seguenti 👇
- When you leave office tomorrow, my plane will be landing (azione allo stesso momento).
- Please call before 6pm. After that, we’ll be watching the game (azione che svolge dopo un altro momento).
- We will be walking in the forest until the sun goes down (azione che ha una durata prima di un altro momento).
Azione non abituale nel futuro
Il futuro progressivo inglese si usa anche per indicare un’azione futura che è diversa dal solito, non usuale:
- Tomorrow there is a train strike, I will be driving to work.

10 esercizi su Future progressive, questions tag & short answer
Ovviamente, anche con il futuro progressivo inglese è possibile formare le tag question, quelle domande formate da una frase affermativa o negativa + una formula interrogativa (tag). Il tag è costituito da un verbo, al positivo se la frase è negativa e negativo se la frase è affermativa 😵💫. Niente panico, è facile:
- We won’t be driving all night, will we?
A questo tipo di domanda si può rispondere con una short answer, una risposta breve costituito anche solo da soggetto e ausiliare:
- We will, actually.
Nelle frasi seguenti trovi tag question, seguite a volte da una short answer, ma è tutto mescolato… a te il compito di rimetterle in ordine!

10 esercizi Future continuous o Future perfect
Un altro dei futuri inglesi con cui il future progressive è spesso confuso è il future perfect, soprattutto da noi parlanti italiani. A questo argomento abbiamo dedicato anche un articolo: Future continuous vs Future perfect. 👈
Se usiamo, come abbiamo visto, il future continuous per parlare di azioni o eventi futuri che avranno corso in un determinato momento del futuro oppure di azioni future che vediamo come nuove, diverse dalla norma o temporanee, usiamo il future perfect per parlare di qualcosa che sarà completato prima di un determinato momento nel futuro:
Our friends are arriving at 7 pm. We’ll have finished cooking by then.
Per questo è spesso accompagnato da marcatori temporali come by, by the time, in (numero mesi, anni giorni etc).
Ma adesso basta parlare! Mettiti alla prova scegliendo per ogni frase la forma di futuro giusta.
This time tomorrow, I __________ (sit) on a beach, enjoying my vacation.
Will be sitting
She ___ (drive) home when you call her.
Will be driving
I ___ (finish) my homework before dinner.
Will have finished
This evening, they ___ (celebrate) their anniversary.
Will be celebrating
You __________ (learn) all the grammar points by the end of the course.
Will have learnt
By the time you get home, we __________ (prepare) everything for the party.
