• Usos:
o Utilizamos el futuro perfecto continuo para mostrar que algo va a continuar
hasta otra acción o tiempo en el futuro. Ejemplos:
Jessica will have been studying English for 5 years when she moves to England
next April. (Jessica habrá estado estudiando inglés durante 5 años cuando se
traslade a Inglaterra el próximo abril.)
I’m going to have been running 20 kilometers daily for at least a month before
the marathon. (Habré estado corriendo 20 kilómetros diarios durante al menos
un mes antes de la maratón.)
Will you have been living together for long before you get married? (¿Habréis
estado conviviendo durante mucho tiempo antes de casaros?)
o El uso del futuro perfecto continuo es una manera de mostrar causa y efecto
en el futuro. Ejemplos:
Jessica’s English will be perfect when she moves to England next year as she’ll
have been studying it for five years. (El nivel de inglés de Jessica será perfecto
cuando se traslade a Inglaterra el año que viene, ya que habrá estado
estudiando durante 5 años.)
I’m not worried about the marathon as I’ll have been running 20 kilometers a
day for several weeks before. (No me preocupa la maratón, ya que habré
estado corriendo 20 km diarios durante varias semanas.)
Nota: Ten en cuenta las reglas sobre el uso de los tiempos perfectos y
expresiones de tiempo, además de las reglas sobre los tiempos continuos.
