10.6.8 Read the theory and find examples of all the future tenses in the text in Ex. 1.
We use the future perfect (will have + past participle) to
describe an action that will be finished before a stated future
time. They will have finished making the roof garden before
the end of next week. (active voice) The apartment will have
been built by the end of the year. (passive voice)
Time expressions used with the future perfect: before,
by, by then, by the time, until/till (in negative sentences)
We use the future perfect continuous to emphasise the
duration of an action up to a certain time in the future. By next
month, James will have been working at the farm for five years.
