Learn English – “starting soon” or “started soon”

future-continuousfuture-tense

I would like to ask which one is the appropriate grammar for using "starting soon" or "started soon".

For example:

The commissioning will be starting soon.

Is this right or wrong?

Best Answer

The commissioning will be starting soon.

The above statement talks about something that is yet to happen.

The commissioning started soon.

This statement is narrative of what happened.

Could be written as

The commissioning started soon after the proposal was accepted.


EDIT

They are both correct as @HotLicks pointed out.

will be started is future perfect tense.
will be starting is future continuous tense.
