The Past Continuous is often used when one action in progress is interruped by another action in
the past. The Past simple is used in such sentences. We usually use when. We can join these two
actions with when

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can
sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings.

"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker
offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request
for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us.
Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.
I will send you the information when I get it. Will you help me move this heavy table?
I will not do your homework for you. I won't do all the housework myself!

will (but not be going to) is used to express a decision the speaker makes at the moment of speaking. The
speaker decides to help at the immediate moment; he did not have a prior plan or intention to help
Oh, I have left the door open. I’ll go and shut it.
I expect I have not seen Carol today. I expect she’ll phone this evening
I’m sure Don’t worry about the exam. I’m sure you’ll pass
Will is used to express predictions, on-the-stop decision, warnings, offers, promises, threat, request,
suggestions, opinions, hopes and fears

The Future Continuous Tense expresses an activity that will be in progress at a time in the
future, or at a particular moment in the future. It describes an activity that will occur in the future and
continue for a certain period of time. As we mentioned above we can specify the time when the activity
is going to take place.
Examples: 1. Tom will be attending the conference next week from Monday till Friday.
2. They'll be shopping all afternoon.
3. I'll be working late at the office tomorrow at 10 o’clock.
5. Tonight at 11 p.m, we will be dancing at the party.

The Future Continuous is also used when we talk about an activity that will continue over a
period of time from now into the future (an activity in progress that started at the present
moment or at some time around the present moment):

shorter action in the future, in this case the shorter action in the future is expressed with Present Simple.
