Feel free to just provide example sentences. The phrase "will ask" indicates any time in the future when an action will take place, but "will be asking" refers to that specific duration in which the action takes place.

Did you ask vs asked?

When we form a Past tense question or negative sentence, we use the 'helping' verb 'did'. 'Did' is already in the Past tense, and there is no need to use the Past tense for the main verb too. I asked him. Did you ask him?

Should you ask a will or a question?

When we are in a formal situation, using “would” to form request and proposal is expected. Although, you could use “will” to form request and proposal in an informal setting. To illustrate, will you come in? This is for the informal situation.
