GRAMMAR SPOT FOR THIRD GRADERS: Future perfect and future perfect continuous

Good evening everyone, I think these tips will be helpful in order to remember how to use the Advanced future forms.

We use The future continuous (will be + ‘ing’ form) and the future perfect (will have + past participle)  to talk about events in the future.

Remember that we use the future perfect to talk about actions which are going to be concluded before a particular point in time. We often used the preposition 'by'with the future perfect tense.

The future continuous is used to talk  about actions in progress in a particular point in time in the future.

Future continuous

• Don’t ring at 8 o’clock. I’ll be watching my favourite soap opera.
• This time tomorrow we’ll be sitting and relaxing on the beach. 

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.

  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.
