However, there are ways to express future continuous actions in Portuguese:
1. Using the future tense with the verb "estar" (to be) and a present participle:
* This construction is similar to the English "be + -ing" form, but it focuses more on the state of the action rather than its duration.
* Ex: "Estarei trabalhando amanhã." (I will be working tomorrow.)
* Ex: "Ele estará dormindo à tarde." (He will be sleeping in the afternoon.)
2. Using the present continuous tense with the future auxiliary "ir" (to go):
* This is a more direct way of expressing future continuous action, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the action.
* Ex: "Vou estar trabalhando amanhã." (I will be working tomorrow.)
* Ex: "Eles vão estar jogando futebol." (They will be playing football.)
3. Using a phrase with "estar" (to be) + "a" + infinitive:
* This construction can be used to express future continuous action, but it is less common than the other options.
* Ex: "Estarei a trabalhar amanhã." (I will be working tomorrow.)
* Ex: "Ela estará a dormir à tarde." (She will be sleeping in the afternoon.)
4. Using other phrases to convey the meaning:
* You can also use various phrases to express future continuous actions, such as "estar ocupado" (to be busy), "estar envolvido em" (to be involved in), etc.
* Ex: "Estarei ocupado com um projeto amanhã." (I will be busy with a project tomorrow.)
* Ex: "Estarei envolvido em uma conferência durante o dia." (I will be involved in a conference during the day.)
It is important to note that the choice of construction depends on the specific context and the desired emphasis.
