Hi everybody :) I will show you today the difference between #Future_continuous & #Future_perfect The future continuous (will be + ‘ing’ form) and the future perfect (will have + past participle) tenses are used to talk about events in the future. Future continuous : - Don’t ring at 8 o’clock. I’ll be watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire. -This time tomorrow we’ll be sitting on the beach. I can’t wait! We use the future continuous to talk about something that will be in progress at or around a time in the future. - Don’t phone grandma now, she’ll be having dinner. - The kids are very quiet. They’ll be doing something wrong, I know it! These sentences are not about the future but we can use the future continuous to talk about what we assume is happening at the moment. Future Perfect : - Do you think you will have finished it by next Thursday? - In 5 years time I’ll have finished university and I’ll be able to earn some money at last. We use the future perfect to say that something will be finished by a particular time in the future. We often use the future perfect with ‘by’ or ‘in’ - I think astronauts will have landed on Mars by the year 2020. - I’ll have finished in an hour and then you can use the computer. ‘By’ means ‘not later than a particular time’ and ‘in’ means within a period of time’. We don’t know exactly when something will finish. - I promise I’ll have done all the work by next Saturday. We don’t know exactly when he will finish the work – maybe Thursday, maybe Friday – but definitely before Saturday. If you wanna to ask about something not clear , u r welcome :)
