Future Perfect

FUTURE PERFECT

will/shall have + past participle

Use the future perfect to predict that something will be completed by a particular time in the future.

I will have finished my work by the weekend.
I will have sent the letter by next month.

You can also use the future perfect to predict the present:

'There's no point in phoning him now. He will have left by now.'

FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS

will/shall have been + present participle

Use the future perfect continuous to emphasise how long something has been in progress by a particular time in the future. It is often used with a for time phrase to denote a period of time. Note that the activity is not necessarily over; it may be ongoing.
