Verwendung
Eine fortlaufende Handlung in der Zukunft, die vor einer anderen stattfindet
Future Perfect Continuous im Englischen wird verwendet, um eine Handlung auszudrücken, die bis zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Zukunft andauern wird. For five minutes, for two weeks und since Friday sind fortlaufende Handlungen in der Zukunft, die im Future Perfect Continuous verwendet werden können. Der Unterschied zwischen Future Perfect Continuous und Present Perfect Continuous und Past Perfect Continuous besteht darin, dass die gegebene Handlung vor oder zum angegebenen zukünftigen Zeitpunkt endet.
Z. B.:
- They will have been talking for over an hour by the time Thomas arrives.
- She is going to have been working at that company for three years when it finally closes.
- James will have been teaching at the university for more than a year by the time he leaves for Asia.
- How long will you have been studying when you graduate?
- We are going to have been driving for over three days straight when we get to Anchorage.
- A: When you finish your English course, will you have been living in New Zealand for over a year?
B: No, I will not have been living here that long.
Wichtig ist zu beachten, dass der zukünftige Zeitpunkt, bis zu dem die Handlung andauert (in den obigen Beispielen kursiv markiert), im Simple Present steht, nicht im Simple Future.
Grund für etwas in der Zukunft
Die Verwendung von Future Perfect Continuous vor einer anderen Handlung in der Zukunft ist eine gute Möglichkeit, um im Englischen Ursache und Wirkung auszudrücken.
Z. B.:
- Jason will be tired when he gets home because he will have been jogging for over an hour.
- Claudia's English will be perfect when she returns to Germany because she is going to have been studying English in the United States for over two years.
Future Continuous oder Future Perfect Continuous
Future Continuous betont unterbrochene Handlungen, während Future Perfect Continuous die Dauer einer zukünftigen Handlung betont, die vor einer anderen stattfindet.
Z. B.:
- He will be tired because he will be exercising so hard.
Dieser Satz betont, dass er müde sein wird, weil er zu einem bestimmten zukünftigen Zeitpunkt trainiert
- He will be tired because he will have been exercising so hard.
Der Satz betont, dass er müde sein wird, weil er über einen bestimmten Zeitraum trainiert hat
Future Perfect Continuous kann nicht mit Sätzen verwendet werden, die mit Zeitausdrücken beginnen, wie zum Beispiel: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless usw. Stattdessen wird Present Perfect Continuous verwendet.
Z. B.:
- You won't get a promotion until you will have been working here as long as Tim. Nicht korrekt
