The future continuous tense, also called the future progressive tense, refers to an action that will be ongoing or in progress at some point in the future. It is formed using "will/shall be + present participle (-ing form)" of the verb. Some key uses of the future continuous include describing interrupted or parallel actions that will occur at the same time in the future, predicting or guessing future events, and asking politely about future plans. The future continuous can also be formed using "be going to be + infinitive" with little difference in meaning.

2. Ara Mara Amara
In fondo alla china,
fra gli alti cipressi,
è un piccolo prato.
Si stanno in quell’ombra
tre vecchie
giocando coi dadi.
Non alzan la testa un istante,
non cambian di posto un sol giorno.
Sull’erba in ginocchio
si stanno in quell’ombra giocando.
(A. Palazzeschi)
3. Il Gerundio
Il gerundio fa parte dei modi impliciti
Ha due tempi: presente e passato
Il gerundio presente e il gerundio passato sono forme
verbali invariabili
Queste forme verbali si usano nelle frasi secondarie
4. Principali significati del gerundio
Contemporaneità (le azioni succedono nello stesso momento)
Modalità (in che modo succede qualcosa)
Causa (perché succede qualcosa)
Ipotesi (si presuppone che qualcosa accada)
Concessione (sostituisce una frase introdotta da “anche se”;
bisogna “pur” prima del gerundio)
5. Come si costruisce
Gerundio presente
-are → -ando
(parlare -parlando)
-ere → -endo
(scrivere – scrivendo)
-ire → -endo
(dormire - dormendo)
Gerundio passato
Gerundio presente di
avere o essere
(secondo le solite regole)
+
Participio passato del
verbo
(Avendo parlato)
(Essendo andato)
Bisogna prendere in considerazione l'infinito dei verbi ed operare
come da tabella
6. Attenzione!
Possiamo usare le forme implicite, come il
gerundio, solamente quando il soggetto della
frase secondaria è lo stesso della frase
principale
7. Attenzione!
Tutti i pronomi (diretti, indiretti e combinati) e le
particelle (ci, ne) vanno dopo il gerundio
▪ Es.Vedi quei libri? Portandomeli mi farai un gran
favore
8. Il gerundio passato
Il gerundio passato si usa quando l'azione della frase
secondaria avviene prima rispetto all'azione della frase
principale
▪ es. “Avendo bevuto molto caffè (prima), sono molto
nervoso (ora)
9. Chiarendoci ulteriormente le idee
Guardando si impara!
