GRAMMAR: Future Continuous, Future Perfect.

Use Future Perfect (will have done) to talk about something that will be completed by (not later than) a certain time in the future. When we use this structure, we think of a future time and look back from that future time to say something will be complete. Examples: I’ll have finished dinner by 8.00. “I’ll phone you at 11.00”. ~ “No, I’ll have gone to bed by then”. I’ll have worked here for a year next September. They will have been married for 25 years. We’re late, I expect the film will have already started by the time we get to the cinema.
