Question

Identify the form of the future perfect continuous tense:
a)Subject + will have being + present participle
b)Subject + will have been + past participle
c)Subject + will have been + participle
d)Subject + will have been + present participle

Answer 1

Hint: Future perfect continuous tense is used to denote actions that will continue upto a particular point in future.

Complete step by step answer:
Since a future perfect continuous tense is used to show an action upto a particular point of time in future, it is represented in a sentence as follows: Subject + will have been + present participle. The present participle form of the verb will be ending with ‘ing’. For example, This June I will have been working at this company for five years. Hence, option d is the correct option.

Option a is an incorrect option because the verb ‘being’ is never preceded by ‘will have’. Similarly, option b is incorrect because although the verb form is correct, past participle can never be used in future tense. Option c is also an incorrect option because it does not state the form of participle to be applied. The word participle can refer to both past and present participle.

Note: Do not confuse options b, c and d because they contain ‘will have been’. Pay attention to the participle form.
