key idea

The progressive tense describes ongoing actions. It tells about something that is, was, or will be happening. To form the progressive tenses, use a form of the helping verb to be with a main verb ending in -ing.

The present progressive tense tells about something that is happening right now. It uses a present-tense form of the helping verb to be (is, am, or are).

Julie is playing basketball right now.

The past progressive tense tells about something that was happening in the past. It uses a past-tense form of the helping verb to be (was or were).

Seth was talking to Mrs. Jones when the phone rang.

The future progressive tense tells about something that will be happening in the future. It uses the future-tense form of the helping verb to be (will be).

Karen will be visiting next June.

solution

The sentence should be completed in the future progressive tense.

Use the helping verb will be with the -ing form of the main verb, meet.

We will be meeting tomorrow afternoon to rehearse our lines.
