  2. USE 1 Duration Before Something in the Future We use the Future Perfect Continuous to show that something will continue up until a particular event or time in the future. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Friday" are all durations which can be used with the Future Perfect Continuous. Notice that this is related to the Present Perfect Continuous and the Past Perfect Continuous; however, with Future Perfect Continuous, the duration stops at or before a reference point in the future. Examples: They will have been talking for over an hour by the time Thomas arrives. Sheis going to have been workingat that company for three years when it finally closes. James will have been teaching at the university for more than a year by the time he leaves for Asia. How long will you have been studying when you graduate? We are going to have been driving for over three days straight when we getto Anchorage. A: When you finish your English course, will you have been living in New Zealand for over a year?B: No, I will not have been living here that long. Notice in the examples above that the reference points are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is because these future events are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses.

  3. USE 2 Cause of Something in the Future Using the Future Perfect Continuous before another action in the future is a good way to show cause and effect. Examples: Jason will be tired when he gets home because he will have been jogging for over an hour. Claudia's English will be perfect when she returns to Germany because she is going to have been studyingEnglish in the United States for over two years. FORM Future Perfect Continuous with "Be Going To" [am/is/are + going to have been + present participle] Examples: You are going to have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives. Are you going to have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives? You are not going to have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives.

  4. REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs / Mixed Verbs It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for Mixed Verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. Instead of using Future Perfect Continuous with these verbs, you must use Future Perfect . Examples: Ned will have been havinghis driver's license for over two years. Not Correct Ned will have hadhis driver's license for over two years. Correct ADVERB PLACEMENT The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples: You will only have been waiting for a few minutes when her plane arrives. Will you only have been waiting for a few minutes when her plane arrives? You are only going to have been waiting for a few minutes when her plane arrives. Are you only going to have been waiting for a few minutes when her plane arrives?

  5. A construction of Future Perfect Continuous. The time Future Perfect Continuous is the last time from ‘perfect times’. This time is quite complicated if we tell about his structure, but his rules of using are simple. Affirmative sentencesTo build a this sentence we need to use three auxiliary verbs:Firstly will, then have and after that been.Attention: These verbs don’t change depending on the person. The main verb in the 1st form with ending –ing is placed after been.SUBJECT + WILL + HAVE + BEEN + VERB + -ing + THE REST OF SENTENCEExamplesBy the end of this month they will have been going out for almost a year!You will have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives.By noon she will have been driving for 12 hours without a break.

  6. Questions To create questions we need to use inversion.(WH-question)WILL + SUBJECT + HAVE + BEEN + VERB-ing + THE REST OF SENTENCEEXAMPLESWill they have been living here for a month by Friday?Willyou have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives?What will I havebeenlearning for 5 years? Negative sentences We make them by adding a word not after auxiliary verb will. SUBJECT + WILL + NOT + HAVE + BEEN + VERB-ing + THE REST OF SENTENCE ExamplesBy the end of this year I willnothavebeenlearning English for 5 years.You will not have been waiting for more than two hours when her plane finally arrives.They won't have been fightingin Iraq for six months by the end of the year. The characteristicfrequencyadverbs: all – e.g. all the morning, allday;since – e.g. sinceMonday; for – e.g. for twoweeks; by e.g. by nextMonday; howlong...?

  7. Pay attention to the fact that although the duration activities during Future Perfect ​​Contuinuous is defined only up to a certain time in the future, it does not mean that the operation is then completed.I willfinish my project on Sunday I willhavefinished my project by Sunday I willhavebeenworking on my project for a month by Sunday Presentation prepared: Dominika Pilarska, Mateusz Tracz
