The future with “will” is used to talk about decisions made at the time
of speaking, to make predictions not supported by evidence, to offer
to do something, or to make promises.

The future continuous uses “will” or “going to” and “be” with a present participle to
describe an event or situation that will be in progress at some point in the future.

The future perfect is used to talk about an event that will overlap with,
or finish before, another event or point in the future.

FUTURE PERFECT


The future perfect continuous is used to predict the length of an activity.
This tense looks back from that imagined time in the future.
