Thank you | I am doing... means 'I am doing that thing now.' "now" can mean right at this moment, or it can mean continuously or intermittently over a period of time. I am doing my homework (right) now. I am doing those exercises three times a week.
I'll be doing... refers to the future. In the future I will do that thing (for)(over) some period of time. Again, I may do that thing only once or many times. (I'll be doing)(I will do) that survey between 9 and 10 (o'clock) Wednesday morning. (I'll be doing)(I will do) the weekly reports every Monday morning. |
