On a Surface
On tells us that the following noun is located on a surface. Use on when one thing is attatched to or touching somthing.
In an Enclosed Space
In tells us the noun is in an enclosed space (surround or closed off on all sides). Basically, when something is inside something.
We use at in many common phrases, especially when we are talking about a place for a specific activity.
'All walks of life means' = people from all layers of the society, rich, poor, with various levels of social position or achievement, as a matter of fact, from everywhere!

Future Progressive
Use:
* to talk about actions that'll be in progress at a certain time in the future.
It helps to express the future as a matter of course.
Couple of words are for instance: next week, tonight, later on Jan. 6th.
..., just about every action having its course in the future.
Example: We'll be boarding the flight at 2 pm.
* to underline overlapping actions.
Example: They'll be waiting when we arrive.
used with: when + Present simple + at (time)
Form: Personal pronouns + will be + Verb-ing
Examples:
- She will be taking a nap at this very time tomorrow.
- They will be celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary in September.
- will be talking to my mom in an hour.
- We will be working on the project tomorrow.
- Will you be going to her by bus?
The past perfect continuous is also known as Past Perfect Progressive Tense, and is used for an action that began before a certain point in the past and continued up to that time.
Time reference is found in these sentences which gives an idea that action has continued from some time.
Examples:
At that time he had been writing a book for two months.
When she came to the university in last summer, her biology Lecturer had already been teaching there for five years.
The will-future expresses future events that the speaker cannot influence.
Example: It will rain tomorrow.
The going-to-future is used to express a logical conclusion.
Example:
The sky is covered with dark clouds. I It's going to rain.
Must vs. have to
Both Must and have to express obligation or necessity, but there are some small differences:
- We use must when the speaker thinks it is necessary or important to do an action:
Must you go? ~ Yes, I must.
You must go. (= It is important that you go.)
- We use have to to talk about an action that is necessary because of rules or laws, or because someone obliges us to do it:
Doctors sometimes have to work on Sunday.
(It is in the rules of their work.)
