Let's practice making the negative form. To tell your friend you won't be available, complete the sentence using the negative Future Continuous. Sorry, I can't join the video call at 4 PM, I (a) my dog then.
Answer explanation
The question asks you to tell your friend you won't be available, but the context 'I ___ my dog then' implies explaining the conflicting action. The best fit is the positive form 'will be walking' to explain WHY you can't join.
