Future Progressive:
I    will     be sleeping at 4am.
I am going to be sleeping at 4am.
[future of “be”]+verb(ing)

I will be eating dinner|when you get home. (NOT “when you will get home”)
     (main clause)     |  (time clause)
- We don’t use future grammar in time clauses
  (Time clauses can start with when, while, before, after, until, as soon as, by the time.)

You will get home|while I am eating dinner.

Will you be doing your homework at that time?  Yes, I will. / No, I won’t.
Are you going to be performing?  Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.
