When Do I Use the Future Perfect Continuous?
1. This is very similar to the Future Perfect tense. It is used to show how long an action or activity will have been by a certain point in the future. We often use the continuous tenses to describe activities such as teaching, playing, learning, or cooking.
When you get here, I will have been looking after my little brother all day, so I might be a little tired.
Fred will have been playing football for 6 years when he plays the final on Saturday.
I will have been learning English for 5 years in the Summer
2. Like other continuous tenses, you can use the future perfect continuous to show that an event in the future ends just before another event in the future begins. This is used to explain why there is a certain result.
I will have been exercising for an hour when you get home tonight. Dinner will be later than normal.
Katharine won’t (will not) have been waiting for long when you arrive. You won’t have to say sorry for being late.
Will you have been resting long enough when I arrive? I will feel guilty if you are still tired when we go out together.
