When do we use the future continuous tense in reported speech?

We use the future continuous tense in reported speech when we want to talk about an action or event that will be happening at a specific time in the future. It is used to convey the idea that the action will be ongoing or in progress at that particular time. For example, if someone says, "I will be studying tomorrow evening," in reported speech, we can say, "He said he would be studying tomorrow evening." Here, the future continuous tense is used to indicate that the studying will be happening at a specific time in the future.
