Future Perfect

future.

 FORM :

 Negative : will not have + past participle / won’t have + past participle

---------------x------x-------x--------x-----------Three o’clock
The Future Perfect is used to say that something will ALREADY
be COMPLETED by the certain time in the future. It is often used
with time expressions such as by five o’clock, by the time you
arrive, in two weeks’ time, by Friday etc.
FUTURE CONTINUOUS
 USE : to express an action that will be in progress at some time in the future.

 FORM :
 Affirmative : will be + -ing
Russians will be celebrating Victory Day with parades and
dances in the streets.

 Negative : will not be + -ing / won’t be + -ing


My sister won’t be driving to Barcelona on Thursday.

 Interrogative : Will + SUBJECT + be +-ing?


Will you be doing an exam at this time tomorrow?
Yes, we will./ No, we won’t.
Don’t come at 7pm. I’ll be eating dinner.
This time tomorrow we will be flying to Spain. I’m so excited!

• Sometimes we use future continuous in sentences that are not about the future
but about something we assume is happening at the moment.

Don’t visit her now, she’ll be working.

The children are very quiet. They’ll be doing something wrong!


REMEMBER!
 We cannot use a continuous form with state verbs.

State verbs show feelings or states, such as love, be, forget, etc.

• When used in continuous form, we are changing the


meaning of the verb
The Future Continuous is a verb form that is tipically used with
ACTION verbs to say what will be happining at the certain point in
the future. As always, continuous forms highlights the DURATION
of the action.
TIME EXPRESSIONS
 At this time tomorrow

 At this time next week

 On Thursday

 During the next three months

 In the next decade

(These expressions refer to a specific point in time or to a period of time.)

In the next three months my friend will be studying in the US.
