5. Verbs ending in –ie put a y + -ing instead.

4. Verbs that end in double e keep this ending and add –ing to the end.

3. If the verb ends in silent e, this letter is removed and the ending -ing is added.

FUTURO CONTINUOS

RULES

Only and only in interrogative sentences, to ask for information about the future in a very polite way.

To talk about unfinished actions in the present that will continue in the future.

To make predictions or assumptions about events both in the present and in the future.

As we have seen before, to talk about actions that will be taking place at a specific time in the future; which were already being carried out before that specific moment, and which will continue to be carried out afterwards.

In this same sense, to talk about actions that will be taking place in the future and that will be interrupted by another action. This action (verb) that interrupts must go in 'Present simple'.

The "future continuous" refers to an unfinished action or event that will continue to occur after the present moment. The "future continuous" is used for a considerable variety of purposes.
