Futuro contínuo

El futuro perfecto continuo enfatiza la continuidad de la acción futura.

Podemos utilizar el futuro continuo (will/won't be + -ing form) para hablar de acciones futuras que:

● se producirán en un momento determinado en el futuro:

When you come out of school tomorrow, I'll be boarding a plane.

Try to call before 8 o'clock. After that, we'll be watching the match.

You can visit us during the first week of July. I won't be working then.

● que vemos como nuevo, diferente o temporal:

Today we're taking the bus but next week we'll be taking the train.

He'll be staying with his parents for several months while his father is in recovery.

Will you be starting work earlier with your new job?

El futuro perfecto continuo es más usual con los denominados verbos dinámicos o de acción ya que
los denominados verbos de estado no suelen ir en tiempos progresivos.

Futuro perfecto simple

El futuro perfecto denota que la acción o estado estará completado en un momento dado del futuro.
Pone el énfasis en el resultado.

Utilizamos el futuro perfecto simple (will/won't have + participio pasado) para hablar de algo que se
completará antes de un momento específico en el futuro.

The guests are coming at 8 p.m. I'll have finished cooking by then.

On 9 October we'll have been married for 50 years.

Will you have gone to bed when I get back?

Podemos utilizar frases como by o by the time (que significa 'en algún momento antes') y in o in a
day's time / in two months' time / in five years' time etc. (que significa 'al final de este periodo') para
dar el periodo de tiempo en el que se completará la acción.

I won't have written all the reports by next week.

By the time we arrive, the kids will have gone to bed.

I'll have finished in an hour and then we can watch a film.

In three years' time, I'll have graduated from university.

Para las predicciones se puede usar tanto el futuro perfecto, como el futuro perfecto
continuo o el futuro continuo.
El matiz estará en si consideramos la predicción como acabada o si queremos
enfatizar la continuidad de la acción.
