And now let's look at the future continuous tense. The future continuous tense is typically used to indicate an action in progress at a particular time in the future. To form this tense in the positive form, we have our subject, here we've used 'Karen', the word 'will', our auxiliary verb our helping verb 'to be' and then the present participle or the verb with 'ing', so 'Karen will be going'. In order to create the negative form, we keep with our positive form but add 'not' in between 'will' and our helping verb 'to be'. Finally, we ask a question by beginning with 'will', then we have our subject being sure to include our helping verb and the present participle: 'Will Karen be going?' Some of the more common usages for the future continuous tense are as follows. We can use them to speak about actions in progress at a future time, such as I'll be having lunch at 2 p.m. We can use it to predict the present because we're predicting, we wouldn't often predict something about ourselves so perhaps somebody has asked about a gentleman John and his whereabouts. You're not sure about his whereabouts, but you're going to predict it and you use the future form: 'I think John will be having lunch now.' We can also use it for polite inquiries, particularly where we don't want to influence the outcome. There are other ways to ask things but if we need to get the most accurate answer without influencing it, we could put it in a very polite form such as 'Will you be coming to the party?'

A course book is one of many tools a teacher may use to build an efficient and effective lesson plan. They are usually dictated by the school or organization employed by the teacher. A good teacher will adapt the course book or materials and seek approval from the administrative institution prior to teaching it. Approval from the administration also give the teacher confidence that their customized syllabus is supported by the institution and her peers.In this unit we learned the pros and cons of course books, authentic material and created materials. I think it´s always good to have a workbook to use as a base for teaching. But this shouldn't be the only source of materials, there has to be created materials that suit the students needs and levels, but especially to keep the class interesting and dynamic, if not the students know before each class what is going to be taught and may loose interest.
