The Future Continuous tense in Afrikaans, much like in English, is used to describe actions that will be ongoing at a specific moment in the future. This tense is particularly useful for expressing planned events, predictions, or actions that are expected to occur over a period of time. Understanding how to construct and use the Future Continuous tense can greatly enhance your ability to communicate more precisely about future activities.
