REMEMBER:  No Future in Time Clauses


(from http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/futurecontinuous.html)

Like all future tenses, the Future Continuous cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Future Continuous, Present Continuous/[Simple] is used.

Examples:
  • While I am going to be finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Not Correct
  • While I [finish ]/am finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Correct


ADVERB PLACEMENT

(from http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/futurecontinuous.html)
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:
  • You will still be waiting for her when her plane arrives.
  • Will you still be waiting for her when her plane arrives?
  • You are still going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives.
  • Are you still going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives?
