FUTURE PERFECT SIMPLE

SUBJ + WILL/ WON’T + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE

• We use it to talk about something that will be completed before a specific

time in the future.

Example: The guests are coming at 8 p.m. I'll have finished cooking by then.

• We use it with time expressions as we are thinking about something done

before a time in the future:
➢ BEFORE: I will have had my breakfast before midday today
➢ BY: By five o’clock today, I will have gone for a walk.
➢ AT: At 10 am tomorrow, she will already have got up.
➢ IN: In January 2022, we will already have celebrated New Years.
➢ ON: On the 18th of March, people will have already celebrated St.
Patricks Day.
➢ BY THE TIME ( we think of an event rather than a date): By the
time a vaccine is available to everybody, many people will already
have had covid.

FUTURE CONTINUOUS

SUBJ + WILL / WON’T + BE + -ING

• We use it to talk about future actions that will be in progress at a specific

time in the future

Ex: you can visit us during the first week of July. I won’t be working then.

• We use it to talk about future actions that we see as new, different or

temporary.

Ex: Today we’re taking the bus but next week we’ll be taking the train.
