HOME>Word Master®>WILL BE (doing) -- using the future progressive for polite questions ～なさいますか ― 未来進行形（丁寧な疑問文）

It's nice to see you! How has your week been so far? We hope you're doing well today.

Here's your Wednesday WordMaster!

We often use the future progressive form, will be doing, when we want to soften a question and sound more polite.

For example, people in the service industry frequently use this form when asking customers questions. We also use this form to ask about someone's plans when the plans are related to something we want.

未来進行形will be doingは疑問文を和らげたり、丁寧にしたりするために使われることがよくあります｡

例えば、サービス業に従事する人は、お客に対してよく使います。また、人に予定を尋ねるとき（その予定が自分の行動に影響があるとき）にも使います。

1.	(calling a hotel)
	a:	I'd like to book a room.
	b:	How many nights will you be staying?

2.	(a waiter to a customer)
	a:	Will you be having dessert today?
	b:	No thanks. I couldn't eat another bite.

3.	a:	Excuse me, but how much longer will you be needing the phone?
	b:	I'll be done in a minute. Sorry to keep you waiting.

4.	a:	Will you be seeing Professor Cruz this afternoon?
	b:	Yes, I have an appointment at 3:00.
	a:	Would you mind giving him this letter for me?

Thanks for coming!
