Glossary
Future Tense is the form of a verb that expresses what will happen after the present.
Future Continuous Tense is the form of a verb that expresses an action is in progress
at a particular point in the future, formed in English with ‘will be and the present
participle’.
Future Perfect Tense is the form of a verb that expresses an action completed before
a particular point in the future, formed in English with ‘will have and the past participle’
Future Perfect and Future Continuous
 We use the future continuous tense to refer to an action that will still be happening
at a specific time in the future.
will + be + Ving
e.g. Ten years from now I will be working as the CEO of a multinational company.
This time next week we’ll be lying on the beach in Spain.
 We use the future perfect tense to refer to an action that will have been completed
by a specific time in the past.
will + have + V3
e.g. By 2100, the temperature of earth will have risen by 2°C.

By the time you finish eating, we’ll have all fallen asleep.
Alternative ways referring to the future

future (as the speaker sees it).
