When we use the future perfect continuous tense in speaking, we
often contract the subject and auxiliary verb:
| I will |
I'll |
| you will |
you'll |
he will
she will
it will |
he'll
she'll
it'll |
| we will |
we'll |
| they will |
they'll |
For negative sentences in the future perfect continuous tense, we
contract with won't, like this:
| I will not |
I won't |
| you will not |
you won't |
he will not
she will not
it will not |
he won't
she won't
it won't |
| we will not |
we won't |
| they will not |
they won't |
How do we use the Future Perfect Continuous Tense?
We use the future perfect continuous tense to talk about a long
action before some point in the future. Look at these examples:
- I will have been working here for ten years next
week.
- He will be tired when he arrives. He will have been
travelling for 24 hours.
