(The whole afternoon tomorrow is a period of time in the future. It means the action write will continue for the whole afternoon.) Toby won’t be at home at 9 o’clock this Sunday. He will be climbing in the Himalayas then. (The action climb starts before this Sunday and probably continues after it.) The future continuous tense is normally used with a period of time or a point of time in the future. The simple future tense Toby will write to Colin and tell him about his new plan. (The words will write express intention. The speaker announces an intended future action in accordance with Toby’s wish.) The simple future tense expresses a future action with intention while the future continuous tense expresses a future action as a statement of fact.
