Check the question forms and the answers
What will he be doing at 8:30 ?
He will be reading the newspaper.
Will he be killing ants at 10:10 ?
No, he will be shopping.

Now think:
Are we talking about the present, the past or the future .
Are we talking about actions that will be in progress in the future or actions that will be finished in the future ?
Are we talking about an action that takes a short or a long of time ?
So we can say that we use the future continuous to talk about actions that take a long time , are in progress, in the future.
Formation
How do we form the future continuous ? Will + BE + Verb....ing
Now you do the same with the other actions.
