This is the practice thread for the future perfect continuous tense. Include your sentence as a reply to this thread and I'll check it.

The future perfect continuous tense is of the form subject + will + have + been + verb(ing)
It is used in the following way;

Saying how long something will have continued by a certain time: By this time next year, I will have been running the office for almost a year

Hi Learneng,

Remember to keep the sentence in the future tense, both for the time period and the future event.

I will have been working for almost fours now (a future tense for a future prediction)
On Tuesday, they will have been coming to this fair for four years.
She will have been reading for four hours when her father arrives. Smiley
I will am going to have been waiting for one hour for the bus to arrive.
