_________________________

why don't we use "will"

[Torsten]

We use will + be because the ing form (sitting) requires a form of be. This is a continuous tense.

Here is another example:

Tomorrow afternoon I will be watching a movie in English.

You can also say:

Tomorrow I afternoon I will watch a movie.
