Well, if we really want to get technical, I suppose you could say the underlined verb "will be studying" is in the future progressive tense. But trust me, there's no need to stress about it. Just focus on enjoying your summer and studying those painting techniques!

The tense of the underlined verb "will be studying" in the sentence "I will be studying his painting techniques this summer" is future progressive.

To determine the tense of a verb, you need to identify the helping verb (also known as auxiliary verb) and the main verb. In this case, the helping verb is "will" and the main verb is "studying."

In English, the future progressive tense is formed by using the helping verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb and the present participle (-ing form). The future progressive tense indicates an ongoing action that will occur in the future.

To answer such questions in the future, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the verb in the sentence.
2. Determine if there is a helping verb or auxiliary verb present.
3. Identify the form of the helping verb (e.g., will, have, is, etc.)
4. Identify the form of the main verb (e.g., base form, -ing form, past participle, etc.)
5. Combine the helping verb and the main verb to determine the tense of the verb.
