Form negative future continuous tense sentences

Forming negative sentences for future tenses is simple because the general structure remains the same across all future tenses. You just add "not" after the auxiliary verb (will or be) to negate the sentence. If you remember how to do it with simple future tense, you will have no trouble doing it with other future tenses.

Structure

Using "will not" (won't):

Structure
Subject + will not (won’t) + be + verb(-ing) + object.

Examples:
- I will be working tomorrow at this time. -> I will not be working tomorrow at this time.
- She will be attending the meeting. -> She won’t be attending the meeting.

Using "be not going to":

"Not" is placed after the auxiliary verb (am/is/are) to make it negative.

Structure
Subject + am/is/are + not + going to be + verb(-ing) + object.

Examples:
- I am going to be studying tonight. -> I am not going to be studying tonight.
