Future Continuous and Future Perfect Forms | Advanced English Grammar
You know that moment when you’re trying to set expectations with your team, make a professional commitment, or discuss long-term goals – and you feel limited by simple future tenses?
When you want to say something like “By the time the project launches, we’ll have been collaborating for six months” but you’re not sure how to structure it correctly?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How to structure and use three advanced future tenses that make you sound more sophisticated
- The specific situations where future continuous helps you project assumptions and describe temporary events
- Why future perfect is essential for expressing expectations, hopes, and promises with confidence
- Real-life examples that show exactly when and how to use each form naturally
Perfect for intermediate to advanced English learners who feel ready to move beyond basic future forms like “will” and “going to.” If you’ve ever felt limited when trying to express complex future scenarios or wanted to sound more precise in professional conversations, this episode gives you the tools to do exactly that.
This lesson builds on my popular episodes about future forms – but takes you to the next level with grammar structures that native speakers use daily for sophisticated communication.
