Future Perfect:

Future Perfect:

We use the future perfect to say that something will be finished or complete by a certain time in the future.


  • I will have finished my report within the next hour.
  • He'll have had his operation by June and should be fine then.
  • I will have spent all my holiday money by the end of the week.
  • I shall have read seven of his plays by the end of the year.

What interests us here is the fact of its completion by a certain time, not the time of the action itself.
The future perfect continuous is often used to talk about the continuous activity:

  • I will have been teaching for twenty years this summer. 
  • By the end of the year I shall have been working in this office for 10 years. (and most probably I will continue to do so)
Of course: 
Shall can be used instead of will after I and we.

Some British people use I shall and we shall instead of I/we will, with no difference of meaning in most situations. Shall is unusual in American English in most situations
