How much longer are you staying?

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

How much longer will you be staying?

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to ask about the duration of someone's stay in the future tense. It is a polite and formal way to inquire about how much longer the person plans to stay.

Alternatives:

  • how much longer are you staying?
  • how much longer do you plan to stay?
  • how much longer are you going to stay?
  • how much longer will you stay?
  • how much longer are you intending to stay?
Both phrases are correct and commonly used in English. They are interchangeable and can be used to inquire about the duration of someone's stay. The choice between 'are you staying' and 'will you be staying' is a matter of personal preference and does not change the meaning of the question.
