will you be

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English as a question form with the subject and auxiliary verb inverted.

Use "will you be" when asking a question about someone's future actions or state.

Examples:

  • Will you be attending the meeting tomorrow?
  • Will you be coming to the party tonight?
  • Will you be ready on time?
  • Will you be joining us for dinner?
  • Will you be staying at the hotel?

Alternatives:

  • Are you going to be
  • Are you planning to be
  • Do you intend to be
  • Do you expect to be
  • Do you think you will be

you will be

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English as a statement form with the subject preceding the auxiliary verb.

Use "you will be" when making a statement about someone's future actions or state.

Examples:

  • You will be happy with the results.
  • You will be missed when you leave.
  • You will be successful in your new job.
  • You will be a great addition to the team.
  • You will be proud of your accomplishments.

Alternatives:

  • You are going to be
  • You are expected to be
  • You are likely to be
  • You are predicted to be
  • You are destined to be
Both "will you be" and "you will be" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Will you be" is a question form where the subject and the auxiliary verb are inverted, while "you will be" is a statement form where the subject comes before the auxiliary verb.
