Anonymous Which verb form will can be used with "shall be" and "will be?"
You can use the past participle; e.g.,
The work will be completed by noon tomorrow.

You can also use the present participle; e.g.,
I will be working next Sunday.

Either present participle or past participle, depending on whether the sense is active or passive:

We will be questioning him about the incident.
He will be questioned about the incident.

"shall be" is formal-sounding and not very common in modern conversational English.
