Perfect continuous tenses
Future Perfect Continuous
Обозначает будущее длительное действие, которое начнется ранее другого будущего действия. Всегда указан период времени, в течение которого будет происходить действие.
Образуется при помощи вспомогательных глаголов will have been + смысловой глагол с окончанием –ing (will have been + V1ing).
Употребляется:
1)для выражения длительного будущего действия, которое начнется ранее другого будущего действия (или момента) и либо продолжается непосредственно до этого действия (момента). Обычно указан период времени с помощью предлогов for, since: Например. When you start celebrating your birthday, I will have been travelling for all the day. – Когда вы начнете праздновать день рожденья, я буду ехать уже весь день;
We will have been working since 8 a.m. (for two hours) tomorrow.– Завтра мы будем работать с 8 утра (в течение двух часов).
Маркеры Future Perfect Continuous: for 3 hours tomorrow, since 7 a.m. tomorrow, etc.
Present Perfect Continuous
Обозначает длительное действие, которое началось в прошлом и еще совершается в настоящее время. Всегда указан период времени, в течение которого происходит действие.
Образуется при помощи вспомогательных глаголов have been, has been(для he, she, it) + смысловой глагол с окончанием – ing (have been, has been + V1ing).
Употребляется:
1) для выражения длительного действия, которое началось в прошлом и еще происходит в настоящем.

В вопросах период обозначен вопросительным словом: how long? – как долго? и since when? – с каких пор? В этом случае Present Perfect Continuous переводится на русский язык настоящим временем.
