Future Perfect
The Future Perfect
is used to show the time by which something
finishes. For example:
- I will have finished by 4.00. - By
4.00 I will finish a certain activity.
Form
The Future Continuous
is made with will + have + the
past participle. For example:
- I will have arrived by 4.00.
- They will have left by next week.
- He will have gone to America by the
end of the month.
Negatives add not,
for example:
- I won't have arrived by 4.00.
- They won't have left by next week.
- He won't have gone to America until
next month.
Questions invert
will and the subject, for example:
- Will you have arrived by 4.00?
- Will they have left by next week?
- Will he have gone to America by next
month?
Usage
The Future Perfect
shows the time before which something will finish.
For example:
- Next Friday, I'll have worked here
for 5 years.
When next Friday comes, it will be 5 years since
I started working here.
We often use by
to show the time before which something is completed,
for example:
- Can I borrow you book? - You can have it tomorrow,
I'll have read it by then.
- I'll have left by the time you arrive.
