Hello Michael
I have been listening to your podcast since July and I really enjoyed it.
I am so lucky to have you in my education.
I have a question, what are the difference between future perfect tense and future perfect continuous tense ?
Hi Malak. Firstly, thanks for listening for quite a while already! I really appreciate that and I’m glad you enjoy it.
The difference between perfect simple and perfect continuous is similar for all tenses.
The form is like this:
Simple: I will have been sat in traffic for 2 hours by then.
Continuous: I will have been sitting in traffic for 2 hours by then.
Usually, the meaning doesn’t change too much. The main difference is that continuous form emphasises the length of time. It’s good to use it for things that take a longer time.
I understood that , thanks for the reply 🙏
