Формы глагола в Future Continuous in the Past образуются так же, как и Future Continuous, с той лишь разницей, что вместо will употребляется would.
Сокращенные формы Future Continuous in the Past образуются аналогично сокращенным формам Future Simple in the Past: I'd [aid] bе writing
Правила употребления Future Continuous in the Past те же самые, что и для Future Continuous. Разница между этими двумя глагольными временами состоит в том, что Future Continuous in the Past употребляется для выражения будущего действия, рассматриваемого с точки зрения прошедшего времени. Поэтому Future Continuous in the Past употребляется в придаточных дополнительных предложениях, когда cказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в прошедшем времени:
He knew that at that time the patrols would bе searching the аrеа where they had lost him.
Он знал, что в это время патрули будут обыскивать район, где они потеряли его из виду.
Future continuous in the past, так же как и Futurе Continuous, переводится на русский язык глаголом в будущем времени.
