Future Perfect Continuous

Future Perfect Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в форме Future Perfect (shall have been, will have been) и причастия настоящего времени смыслового глагола – Present Participle (IV-я форма или ing-форма).

Future Perfect Continuous употребляется для выражения длительного будущего действия, которое начнется ранее другого будущего действия или момента в будущем и будет еще продолжаться в этот момент.

Эта форма употребляется крайне редко. Чаще выбирают либо Future Continuous, либо Future Perfect. Как и другие времена этой группы, эта форма употребляется тогда, когда указан период времени, в течение которого действие будет совершаться. На русский язык переводится глаголами несовершенного вида будущего времени, например:

He will have been reading a book for two hours when I come. Он будет читать книгу два часа, когда я приду.

By next summer we’ll have been living here for ten years. На будущее лето мы здесь будем жить уже десять лет.

By tonight I’ll have been working for seven hours. Сегодня к вечеру я буду работать уже семь часов.

By the time you come they will have been playing for more than an hour. К вашему приходу они будут играть уже больше часа.

By the 1st of June, 2004, he will have been working at the factory for twenty years. К 1 июня 2004 г. он будет работать на фабрике уже 20 лет.
