i do not understand the difference of future perect tense and future perect continous in a sentence or paragraph because the time signal of both tense are same. Namely by, before, and when. sometimes I got problem to do homework that determine use future perect tense and future perect continous in sentence.
can you tell me the difference of each sentence?
The difference between the two exists not in the substance of the meaning but in the grammatical structure. A future perfect tense is used to refer to events that will take place in the future but in an anticipatory mood. For instance, one can say: I will have worked in this company for 10 years by next January. This is an anticipatory statement. In the case of a future perfect continuous tense, the intention is not anticipatory but deterministic: I will have been working in this company for 10 years by next January. However, the import of both sentences is the same. Thank you.
