How do we form the future continuous in the past tense?

To form the future continuous in the past tense, we use the auxiliary verb "would" or "was/were going to" followed by the base form of the main verb and the present participle (-ing form). The structure is as follows:

Subject + would/was/were going to + base form of the main verb + present participle (-ing form)

For example:
- I would be studying for my exam at this time last week.
- She was going to be working late yesterday.
- They were going to be traveling to Europe next month.

It is important to note that the future continuous in the past tense is used to talk about an action that was planned or expected to happen in the past but did not actually occur.
