Future Perfect Continuous
Future Perfect Continuous
Future Perfect Continuos
Future perfect progressive is a verb tense that you might never
use; it’s
pretty rare and almost never necessary.
Future perfect progressive has almost exactly the same meaning as
past
perfect progressive; the difference is that it happens in the
future, not the past.
We use future perfect progressive when we want to make it clear
that the
action will happen
*over time
*until (or almost until) something
* in the future.
That’s one reason we don’t use this tense very much; it doesn’t
happen
often that we need to say that something will happen over time
until something in
future. Another reason is that we can usually use other tenses
instead of future
perfect progressive.
