Future Tense Applications and Formula
The second page of the guide appears to shift focus to mathematical formulas, which seems unrelated to the future tense discussion. However, we can expand on the future tense concepts introduced earlier.
Future Perfect Applications:
The future perfect tense is often used with time expressions to indicate the completion of an action by a specific point in the future.
Highlight: The future perfect is particularly useful when discussing achievements, deadlines, or milestones expected to be reached in the future.
Example: "By next year, I will have completed my degree."
Future Continuous vs. Future Perfect:
While both tenses deal with future actions, they convey different aspects of those actions.
Definition: The future continuous focuses on the ongoing nature of an action in the future, while the future perfect emphasizes the completion of an action by a certain time.
Example: "This time next week, I will be flying to Paris" (future continuous) vs. "By this time next week, I will have arrived in Paris" (future perfect).
Quando si usa il future perfect:
The future perfect is used when we want to look back from a point in the future and talk about something that will be completed or achieved by then.
Example: "By 2030, scientists will have discovered a cure for many types of cancer."
Come si forma il future perfect continuous:
The future perfect continuous is formed with [will have been + -ing form]. It's used to describe an action that will have been in progress for a specified time in the future.
Example: "By next month, I will have been working on this project for a full year."
Highlight: The future perfect continuous combines aspects of both the future perfect and the future continuous, emphasizing both duration and completion in the future.
