I will be waiting

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English. It indicates a future action that will be ongoing.

This phrase is used to express that someone will wait for something or someone in the future. It is in the future continuous tense.

Examples:

  • I will be waiting for you at the station.
  • She said she will be waiting for the results anxiously.
  • We will be waiting for the bus at the corner.
  • He will be waiting for his friend outside the restaurant.
  • They will be waiting for the meeting to start.

I will waiting

This phrase is incorrect in English. It is missing the auxiliary verb "be" that is necessary for the future continuous tense.


Alternatives:

  • I will wait.
  • I will be waiting.
  • I will be waiting for you.
  • I will be waiting here.
  • I will be waiting at the airport.
The correct phrase is "I will be waiting." The verb "be" is necessary in this context to form the future continuous tense. "I will waiting" is incorrect because it lacks the auxiliary verb "be."
