What is the future continuous in the past tense?

The future continuous in the past tense, also known as the past continuous future, is a verb tense used to describe an ongoing action that was expected or planned to happen in the future from a past perspective. It is formed by using the past tense of the auxiliary verb "to be" (was/were) followed by the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb.

For example, if we consider the sentence "She said she would be studying all night," the future continuous in the past tense is "would be studying." In this case, the action of studying was expected to happen continuously in the future from a past perspective.
