Practice Future Perfect Continuous Tense | Basic English Grammar Course

Let's start a checkup for the future perfect continuous tense.

Take a look at the board.

The first sentence says,

‘By 10 p.m., I _blank_ that game for three hours.’

I’m looking to use the verb ‘play’.

Remember, in this tense, we need to have ‘subject’ + ‘will have been’ and then ‘verb +ing’.

So ‘By 10 p.m., I will have been playing …’

Again, we need ‘verb +ing’.

‘… I will have been playing that game for three hours.

The next sentence says,

‘When she gets here, he _blank_ dinner for an hour.’

Try to use the verb ‘cook’.

Again, no matter what the subject, it doesn't change.

‘When she gets here, he will have been cooking …’

‘When she gets here, he will have been cooking dinner for an hour.’

Now, find the mistake in the next sentence.

‘Steve and Jan will not have be waiting for a year when it arrives.’

Here, we have a negative form, ‘they will not have’.

Then we need ‘been’.

‘They will not have been …’

And then the ‘verb +ing’ is here so that's correct.

‘Steve and Jan will not have been waiting for a year when it arrives.’

The last sentence says,

‘It will have been work for 10 years on January 15th.’

So maybe here I’m talking about a computer or a TV.

Maybe some kind of machine.

‘it’ ‘It will have been …’

I see the mistake here.

We need ‘verb +ing’.

‘It will have been working for 10 years on January 15th.

Great job, everybody.

Let's move on.
