The Future Perfect Continuous
conjugation
The perfect future (Future Perfect) English is built with this structure:
[SUBJECT] + Will / Shall Have Been + [GERUND WORD (-ing form)]
Note: As we have already told in the simple future auxiliary Shall is used only for the first person singular and plural.
To leave this structure clearer then see how the verb is conjugated to save (save):
Conjugación | Significado |
---|---|
I will have been saving I shall have saving | yo habré estado ahorrando |
you will have been saving | tú habrás estado ahorrando |
he will have been saving | él habrá estado ahorrando |
we will have been saving we shall have been saving | nosotros habremos estado ahorrando |
you will have been saving | vosotros habréis estado ahorrando |
they will have been saving | ellos habrán estado ahorrando |
As seen in the future simple personal pronouns and the auxiliary "will" can be contracted:
I'll will ➜
Denial of Future Perfect
Denial is easily formed not by adding the adverb between the auxiliary and the verb will:
[SUBJECT] + Will / Shall not Have Been + [GERUND WORD (-ing form)]
Conjugación | Significado |
---|---|
I will not have been sleeping I shall not have been sleeping | yo no habré estado durmiendo |
you will not have been sleeping | tú no habrás estado durmiendo |
he/she/it will not have been sleeping | él no habrá estado durmiendo |
we will not have been sleeping we shall not have been sleeping | nosotros no habremos estado durmiendo |
you will not have been sleeping | vosotros no habréis estado durmiendo |
they will not have been sleeping | ellos no habrán estado durmiendo |
will not and will not shrink in
Shall not Shall not contracts in
Questioning the future perfect continuous
The question is formed by simply inverting the auxiliary verb and the subject:
Will / Shall + [SUBJECT] + Have Been [GERUND WORD]?
Conjugación | Significado |

will I have been traveling? shall I have been traveling? | ¿habré estado viajando? |
will you have been traveling? | ¿habrás estado viajando? |

Using Continuous Future Perfect
This tense is used to indicate that an event has been started in the past will continue until a time in the future. This time point has to be specified for the phrase makes sense.
It looks easier with an example:
When I retire, I will have been working for 40 years
¿Cúando me jubile, habré estado trabajando durante 40 años
¿Cúando me jubile, habré estado trabajando durante 40 años
