• By the time you arrive, we will have finished the meal and the speeches.

• I will have read every magazine in the waiting room before I see the dentist.

• Where will the guests have gathered by the time we arrive?

• By this time tomorrow, we will have signed the deal.

•  I won't have left before midday.

​

• In English, we use the future perfect simple to describe an event in the future that will be completed by a specified time (I will have finished work by the time you call). 

• Czas Future Perfect stosowany jest do opisu czynności, która będzie wykonana - zakończona przed określonym momentem w przyszłości. Moment ten powinien być zdefiniowany. W tym celu często stosuje się przyimki: before oraz by (the time).

• Moment odniesienia w przyszłości często określony jest przy pomocy innej czynności opisanej zdaniem czasowymCzas Future Perfect może określać, ile razy dana czynność zostanie wykonana - powtórzona do danego momentu w przyszłości np.

  Ronald will have had three operations by the end of this year.

  Before it returns to Earth, the probe will have orbited Mars four times.

• W powyższych zdaniach zamiast czasu Future Perfect można także zastosować czasowniki modalne w formie dokonanej. Znaczenie jakie wyrażają w tym przypadku odnosi się do przyszłości np.

  Before we reach the peak of the mountain, it may have started raining.

  The spy could have destroyed all evidence by the time he is captured.

  By next term, Harry should have retaken all his exams.
  

​

• John will have been baking a cake.

• They will have been painting the fence.

• By six o'clock, John will have been baking a cake for an hour.

• They will have been painting the fence for two days by Saturday.

​Future Perfect Progressive

​The future perfect progressive tense is used for an ongoing action that will be completed at some specified time in the future.The future perfect progressive tense is typically used with two time expressions: one specifying a time in the future and one stating the length of the activity.

• I will not have been playing poker for 30 years by then.

• In July next year, will you have been studying for 3 years?

• ​Czas Future Perfect Continuous opisuje jak długi okres czasu upłynie w określonym momencie w przyszłości, od kiedy dana czynność jest wykonywana. Oznacza to, iż w momencie odniesienia opisywana czynność będzie nadal wykonywana. Moment odniesienia w przyszłości musi być zdefiniowany i podobnie jak w czasie Future Perfect jest on najczęściej opisany przy użyciu przyimków by (the time) lub before. Długość trwania lub wykonywania takiej czynności opisana jest zwykle przy użyciu przyimka for.

• By the end of July, Dave will have been working for us for six months.

• By one o’clock, I will have been waiting for my dinner for half an hour.

• Before the clock strikes eleven, my baby will have been sleeping for four hours.
  

​Powyższe czynności można także opisać przy użyciu czasu Future Perfect, jednakże czas Future Perfect Continuous w bardziej zdecydowany sposób podkreśla ciągłość wykonywanej czynności. Mówiąc o tym, ile razy dana czynność zostanie wykonana - powtórzona do momentu odniesienia w przyszłości, nie należy stosować czasu Future Perfect Continuous, lecz Future Perfect np.

- By the end of this year, Billy will have taken part in seven marathons.
- The man says that before the time runs out, he will have eaten fifteen hamburgers.
-We will have produced a thousand more cars before the factory is closed for good.
