Confusion between Future Progressive and Future Perfect
De Didaquest
Aller à la navigationAller à la rechercheThe confusion between Future Progressive and Future Perfect arises because both tenses deal with future actions but focus on different aspects. The Future Progressive emphasizes actions that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future (e.g., "At 8 PM, I will be studying"). In contrast, the Future Perfect highlights actions that will have been completed by a certain point in the future (e.g., "By 8 PM, I will have finished studying"). The key difference lies in whether the action is in progress or already completed by the time being referred to. Understanding time markers like "at" for Future Progressive and "by" for Future Perfect can help clarify their usage.
