              The Future Perfect Continuous Tense

              Positive Form: Subject + will/shall + have + been + verb (+ ing) + the rest of
              the predicate

              Negative Form: Subject + will not + have + been + verb (+ ing) + the rest of
              the predicate

              Interrogative Form: Will + Subject + have been + verb (+ ing) + the rest of
              the predicate

              We use the future perfect continuous tense to talk about an action that will continue
              till a particular point of time in the future. For example,
              •  She will have been studying in this school for three years this March.
