Grammar
Will be doing / will do
" At present, they are visiting all parts of the country.They will be arriving here tomorrow.They will be coming by train and most of the young people in the town will be meeting them at the station.. During this time, they will give five performances."
1. Why the last sentence is not " will be giving" ? What's the difference between "will be doing" and "will do"? Please kindly clarify.
2. When I want to tell people about my internal transfer, I should say " I will be joining Research team next Monday" or " I will join Research team next monday" ?
Many thanks,
S
