The Future Perfect Progressive Tense in English grammar is used to express an ongoing action that will be completed at a specific time in the future. It is formed by combining “will have been” with the present participle of the verb (verb + -ing). This tense allows us to show that something will continue up until a particular time in the future and is often used to indicate the duration of an action. As a language specialist and teacher, I have prepared three grammar exercises that focus on the Future Perfect Progressive Tense, aiming to help students practice and improve their understanding of this important aspect of English grammar.
