It is used to express a continued or ongoing action that
will start in future and is thought to be continued till sometime in future.
(Remember, an ongoing action in future which will continue till some time in
future). There will be a time reference, such as “since 1980, for three hours”
from which the action will start in future and will continue. A sense of time
reference is found which gives an idea that action will start at some time in
future and will continue for some time. Such time reference or sense of
time reference is the identity of Future perfect continuous tense because it
tells that action will start at a particular time in future. For example, “He
will have been studying in this school since 2005”, so the it means that he
will start studying in this school in 2005 and will study in this school till
sometime in future.
Note: If there is not
time reference or sense of time reference then it is not future perfect continuous
tense because there is no hint about the time of action when it will start in
future and it seems just an ongoing action in future which resembles “future
Continuous tense. So the reference of time differentiates between Future
perfect continuous tense between future continuous tense.
Rules: An auxiliary verb
“will have been” is used in sentence. 1st form of verb (base verb) +ing
(present participle) is used as main verb in sentence. “Since” or “for” is used
before the “time reference” in sentence. If the time reference is exactly known
such as 1995, 4 O’clock then “since” is used before the time in sentence. If
the time reference is not exactly known such as three hours, six years, four
days, then “for” is used before the time in sentence. Time reference such as 3
hours or 5 days is not exactly known because we don’t know that about which
three hours a day is told in sentence or about which 5 days in a month is told
in sentence. While the 1995 is exactly know time.
