Excellent B2 question, Sovan! "I am working at 8" (Present Continuous) emphasizes that you have an arranged *plan* or schedule. "I will be working at 8" emphasizes the *action in progress* at that specific time. In many situations, both are perfectly fine to use! 🎯
Can I use "going to be -ing"? Like "I am going to be studying."
Yes, you can! "I am going to be studying" and "I will be studying" mean the exact same thing when talking about an action in progress in the future. "Will be" is just much more common and faster to say! ⏱️
Teacher, what is the difference between "I will be working at 8" and "I am working at 8"?
