When describing an action that will take place in the Future, the

The following is an example of how to use this Tense: Subject +
will/shall + V1 + Object

Future Continuous Tense:
tomorrow.
The Future Continuous Tense portrays an action that will most likely
occur in the future and last for a predetermined amount of time. It's
made up of the words 'will + be+ the present participle (the root verb + -
ing).' The following Tense is used: Subject + will be/shall be + the
present participle (the root verb + -ing)
Example: I'll be sleeping till around 6 a.m. tomorrow. They'll be
playing at this time the next day.
Future Perfect Tense:
The Future Perfect Tense is used to indicate an action that will take
place at a Future date and time. The Tense is generated by combining
the words "will" and "have" with the verb's past participle. It's used for:
Subject + will have/shall have + past participle
Example: I plan to finish the homework by Monday. Before her
father arrives, she will have cleaned the house.

until a Future date. It's made up of the participle will + have + been +

participle (verb root + -ing).

actions in the future that have already been decided on.
