In this lesson Anna interviews musician Emma G on her
show. But, her excitement starts to become a
little....strange.
Lesson Video
Watch the video and then read the video script.
Video Script
Anna: Hello?
Ms. Weaver: Anna, this is Ms. Weaver.
Anna: Ms. Weaver!
Ms. Weaver: Tomorrow, you’ll be interviewing musician Emma G.
(Anna is very excited. She loves Emma G’s music.)
Anna: Emma G?! I will be talking to Emma G?!
Ms. Weaver: Anna? Anna, are you there?
Professor Bot: Anna and Ms. Weaver used the future continuous verb tense to talk
about the interview.
Prof. Bot: We use future continuous to talk about actions that will be in
progress at or around a time in the future.
Prof. Bot: For example, Ms. Weaver says, “Tomorrow, you’ll be interviewing
musician Emma G.”
Prof. Bot: There are two options for future continuous. The first is: will be +
the -ing form of the verb
Prof. Bot: And the second is: be + going to be + the -ing form of the verb. Keep
watching for more!
Anna: Hello and welcome to The Music! Today, musician Emma G will be joining us
here!
Anna: She is a wonderful songwriter and an amazing singer. And I love her! Let’s
give a warm welcome to Emma G!
Anna: Hi. Thank you for coming on the show, Emma G.
Emma G: Of course. It’s great to be here.
Anna: Well, we can’t wait to hear you sing. I listen to your music a lot. So, I
feel like I know you. Is that strange?
Emma G: Anna, listening to music can be a very personal experience. So, no,
that’s not strange.
Anna: Good because I made something for you -- a video scrapbook of our
friendship.
Anna: I took photos of you and added myself. I worked on it all weekend.
Emma G: Well, that -- that’s strange. Is that even -- is that even legal?
Anna: Now, Emma, let’s talk about your schedule. Tell me ... I mean, tell us
exactly where you will be and when. Exactly.
Emma G: Sure. Well, in early June, I’ll be performing at several venues across
Austin, Texas.
Anna: That’s my vacation week. I can meet you there! We can tour the city. We
can have lunch.
Emma G: Um, yeah maybe. Then in mid-July, I’m going to be teaching at a music
camp in Chicago.
Anna: I’ll be visiting my sister then. She only lives about six hours from
Chicago! I could drive over. We could hang out.
Emma G: Yeah, uh maybe. You know, maybe now is a good time for some music.
Anna: That’s a great idea. Now, let's hear a song from Emma G.!
Emma G: I wrote this song a couple of years ago. It’s called “Wary.”
Emma G: Do you believe in happy endings?
Anna: Endings...
Emma G: Do you really believe that we could be…
Anna: Be...
Emma G: I think something is wrong. I hear a voice in the background.
Anna: Sorry. Sorry, Emma. That was me. I’m just so excited.
Emma G: No problem. I'm glad you like the song.
Anna: You go ahead. You go ahead.
Emma G: Okay. Do you believe in happy endings?
(She hears a tambourine playing and looks at Anna.)
Emma G: Anna, there’s no tambourine in this.
Anna: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, Emma. See, I’ve always wanted to sing with
you.
Emma G: Well, come on over then and we can sing a song together first.
Anna: No, I couldn't.
Emma G: Come on. It’ll be fun.
Anna: Okay! Here. I brought my favorite song.
Emma G: Oh, uh okay. Actually, I like this song. Um, are you ready?
Anna: Yes! Yes!
Emma G: Okay.
Emma G / Anna together:
Every breath you take*
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you …
I’ll be watching you...
I’ll be watching you...
*From "Every Breath You Take" by The Police
Music by Emma G
And now, here's a song by Emma G called "Just Drive." Click here to read the
words. This song is not part of the lesson but just a little something for you
to enjoy!
Listening
Now practice listening to only the audio portion of the conversation.
Practice
Now, you try it!
First, read about the future continuous verb tense below. Then, write two or
three sentences in the Comments section about your future plans.
Be sure to use future continuous in each sentence!
Future Continuous
We use the future continuous verb tense for future actions that will continue
for a period of time.
Future continuous is used only for action verbs. An action verb is a verb that
expresses a physical or mental action. Examples are: write, read, sing, work,
think and stop. Verbs like be, become, feel and look are not action verbs.
Future continuous:
for action verbs only
has two forms
Forms:
will be + ing verb
be + going to be + ing verb
Examples:
Today, musician Emma G will be joining us here!
In early June, I’ll be performing at several venues across Austin, Texas.
Are you going to be teaching at the music camp in Chicago this July?
She won't be returning to Washington, DC until the end of the summer.
I will be becoming happy when you visit my show tomorrow. (wrong)
With the future continuous, we often shorten the part of verb that comes after
the subject. Look at the examples (You'll, I'll, I'm).
subject
will be
-ing verb
You
'll be
interviewing
Emma G.
will be
joining
I
'll be
performing
In the second form of the future continuous verb tense, the verb to be is
conjugated -- it changes to match the subject. See the examples below.
subject
to be (conjugated)
going to be
-ing verb
I
'm
going to be
teaching
They
are
going to be
singing
