Future perfect

e.g. We will(shall) have finished doing these exercises by 3 o’clock. Will you have finished the translation of the text too? – No, we won’t have finished.

Future Perfect is used:

1. For an action which will be finished before a stated future time,

e.g. The mailman will have delivered all the newspapers by 8 o'clock.

Future perfect continuous

Formation: shall /will + have been + Present Participle

e.g. Lora is so slow! By 5 o’clock she will have been hovering the flat for 3 hours! – Will she have been hovering the flat for 6 hours when the Blacks come? – No, she won’t have been hovering it for so long because I will help her as soon as I’m free.

Future Perfect Continuous is used:

2. To emphasize the duration of an action up to a certain time in the future.

e.g. By the end of next month, Mrs. Graham will have been teaching for twenty years.

3. Future Perfect and Future Perfect Continuous are used with the following time expressions:

before by by then by the time until/till

Notes:

• Until/till are only used in negative sentences.

a) She will have finished the report by tomorrow. (NOT: ... till tomorrow.)

b) She won't have completed the report until/ till 5 o'clock.

• After the time expressions by the time, until, before, Present Simple is used because these expressions introduce time clauses. Future Perfect and Future Perfect Continuous may come either before or after the time clause.

***TASK 63. Translate into English.

Венди только 12 лет, но она уже решила, кем она хочет стать, и что она будет делать в жизни. Она часами мечтает о том, что она будет делать, и чего она сможет достичь в определенные годы своей жизни.

Предел ее мечтаний – стать знаменитой писательницей, такой, например, как Агата Кристи. Она мечтает, чтобы ее книги знали во всем мире, чтобы они были переведены на все существующие языки, чтобы они стали обязательной литературой во всех школах. Но Венди хорошо понимает, что для того, чтобы стать действительно знаменитой, надо много работать. Поэтому она уже распланировала всю свою жизнь заранее.

К тому времени, как она окончит школу, Венди досконально выучит всю английскую грамматику, с ее многочисленными правилами и исключениями.

Затем Венди поступит в Оксфордский университет, и будет изучать английскую и мировую литературу. Это даст ей возможность познакомиться с авторами разных стран и народов и изучить их литературные стили.

К окончанию университета, Венди напишет несколько коротких рассказов и пошлет их в самые престижные издательства. Венди уверена, что ее рассказы будут настолько хороши, что издательства их сразу же примут.

Деньги, которые она получит за рассказы, позволят ей не работать в школе или офисе, а посвятить все свое время написанию большого романа. Венди еще не решила, о чем будет этот роман, но она твердо знает, что как только он будет опубликован, он станет бестселлером.

Венди уверена, что как только ее роман будет опубликован, какой-нибудь знаменитый Голливудский режиссер сразу же захочет снять по нему фильм. Венди, конечно же, пригласят написать сценарий. Она, несомненно, согласится и поедет в Америку, чтобы присутствовать на съемках своего фильма.

Без всяких сомнений, фильм станет лучшим из современных фильмов и получит несколько Оскаров. Венди, естественно, вручат высшую награду Каннского фестиваля за лучший сценарий.

К 30 годам Венди напишет еще несколько замечательных романов, и они все будут экранизированы.

Когда Венди исполнится 40 лет, ее официально признают «Королевой Романа», и английский монарх присвоит ей титул пожизненного пэра.

Что она будет делать дальше, Венди еще не придумала, потому что ей надо срочно решить 3 труднейшие задачи по физике.
