I'm not sure that it is used for instances other than that, PC Games.

The future continuous aspect is made up of the future simple aspect of the auxiliary verb to be + present participle.

mostly

will be + present participle

sometimes

shall be + present participle

will be + present participle is always the future continuous aspect.

The form is usually used with a point in time. In two hours, I'll be sleeping.

Thanks for the replies!

It seems the only use mentioned, is the future continuous.

You're welcome!

In addition I found something interesting in your reply that I put in bold.

So the use of the plural (replies) in such case emphasis that the post had been treated the way which satiesfies the post's writer the most what is very polite.

Dear teachers does this my thinking have any pattern to a proper seeing the plural replies used in such case?
