Future perfect continuous tense

The future perfect continuous tense, also known as the future perfect progressive tense, is used to describe an ongoing action that will be completed in the future before a specified time or event. It emphasizes the duration of an action leading up to a particular point in the future.

The structure of the future perfect continuous tense is as follows:

Subject + will have been + present participle (verb + -ing) + time expression

Here are a few examples to illustrate the usage of the future perfect continuous tense:

  1. By the time I finish my project, I will have been working on it for three months.
  2. They will have been living in New York City for five years by the end of next month.
  3. By next year, she will have been studying Spanish for a decade.
  4. By the time they arrive, I will have been waiting for them at the airport for two hours.
  5. He will have been running for 10 kilometers by the time he reaches the finish line.

In these examples, the action is ongoing and is expected to continue until a specific point in the future. The future perfect continuous tense allows us to express the duration of that ongoing action.
