Sujet  +  (serai,  seras,  sera,  serons,  serez,  seront)  +  en train d'être  +  verbe principal (p.p.)(e.s.es)


(Note: When using the "Passif direct - Option 1" format, the subject of the verb "être" must also be the direct object of the participe passé (p.p.) of the main verb, and because it also precedes the p.p., the p.p. agrees in gender and in number with that subject/direct object.)
