Method of using Past Perfect

Continuous
USE 1 Duration Before Something in the Past

We use the Past Perfect Continuous to show

that something started in the past and
continued up until another time in the past.
"For five minutes" and "for two weeks" are
both durations which can be used with the
Past Perfect Continuous.

Examples
Theyhad been talkingfor over an hour
before Aiman arrived.
Shehad been workingat that company for
three years when it went out of business.
How longhadyoubeen waitingto get on
the bus?

 USE 2 Cause of Something in the Past

Using the Past Perfect Continuous before another

action in the past is a good way to show cause
and effect.

Examples
Jackson was tired because hehad been
jogging.
Samsul gained weight because hehad been
overeating.
Aishah failed the final test because shehad not
been attendingclass.
Najdi fall asleep very fast because he had been
busy working all days.

Future Perfect
Continuous Form

 Future Perfect Continuous has two

different forms: "will have been doing "
and "be going to have been doing."
Unlike Simple Future forms, Future
Perfect Continuous forms are usually
interchangeable.

FORM Future Perfect

Continuous with "Will"
[will have been + present participle]

Examples:
Youwill have been waitingfor more than
two hours when her plane finally arrives.
Willyouhave been waitingfor more than
two hours when her plane finally arrives?
Youwill not have been waitingfor more
than two hours when her plane finally arrives.

FORM Future Perfect

Continuous with "Be
Going
To"
[am/is/are + going to have been + present
participle]
Examples:
Youare going to have been waitingfor more
than two hours when her plane finally arrives.
Areyougoing to have been waitingfor more
than two hours when her plane finally arrives?
Youare not going to have been waitingfor
more than two hours when her plane finally arrives.
NOTE: It is possible to use either "will" or "be going
to" to create the Future Perfect Continuous with little
or no difference in meaning.

USE 1 Duration Before Something in the

Future

We use the Future Perfect Continuous to show

that something will continue up until a particular
event or time in the future. "For five minutes," "for
two weeks," and "since Friday" are all durations
which can be used with the Future Perfect
Continuous. Notice that this is related to the
Present Perfect Continuous and the Past Perfect
Continuous; however, with Future Perfect
Continuous, the duration stops at or before a
reference point in the future.

Examples
They will have been talking for over an hour by the time
Thomas arrives.
She is going to have been working at that company for
three years when it finally closes.
James will have been teaching at the university for more than
a year by the time he leaves for Asia.
How long will you have been studying when you graduate?
We are going to have been driving for over three days
straight when we get to Anchorage.
A: When you finish your English course, will you have been
living in New Zealand for over a year?
B: No, I will not have been living here that long.
Notice in the examples above that the reference points (marked
in italics) are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is
because these future events are in time clauses, and you cannot
use future tenses in time clauses

USE 2 Cause of Something in the Future

Using the Future Perfect Continuous before another

action in the future is a good way to show cause
and effect.
Examples:
Jason will be tired when he gets home because
hewill have been joggingfor over an hour.
Claudia's English will be perfect when she returns
to Germany because sheis going to have been
studyingEnglish in the United States for over
two years.
