The Future Perfect Continuous

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):

he will have been savingél habrá estado ahorrando
we will have been saving
we shall have been saving

As seen in the future simple personal pronouns and the auxiliary "will" can be contracted: 
I'll will ➜

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)]
