Future continuous (will be doing) и future perfect (will have done)
Изучите следующую ситуацию:
These people are standing in a queue to get into the cinema.
Half an hour from now, the cinema will be full.
Everyone will be watching the film. (будут смотреть)
Three hours from now, the cinema will be empty.
The film will have finished. (закончится)
Everybody will have gone home. (уйдут)
I will be doing something (future continuous) = я буду делать что-то = я буду в процессе работы над этим:
- This time next week I’ll be on holiday. I’ll be lying on the beach or swimming in the sea.
- You have no chance of getting the job. You’ll be wasting your time if you apply for it.
Сравните will be (do)ing и will (do):
- Don’t phone between 6 and 7. We’ll be having dinner.
- Let’s wait for Liz to arrive and then we’ll have dinner.
В обоих случаях переводится как ‘будем ужинать’, только в первом случае имеется в виду период с 18 до 19 ч.
Сравните will be -ing с другими формами continuous:
- At 10 o’clock yesterday, Sally was in her office. She was working. (past)
- It’s 10 o’clock now. She is in her office. She is working. (present)
- At 10 o’clock tomorrow, she will be in her office. She will be working.
Мы также используем will be -ing и когда говорим о законченных действиях в будущем (по сравнению с п. B). Например:
- The government will be making a statement about the crisis later today.
- Will you be going away this summer?
- Later in the programme, I’ll be talking to the Minister of Education ...
- Our best player is injured and won’t be playing in the game on Saturday.
В этих примерах will be -ing походит на (be) going to ... .
Мы используем will have (done) (future perfect), чтобы сказать, что что-то будет завершено до другого времени в будущем. Например:
- Sally always leaves for work at 8.30 in the morning. She won’t be at home at 9 o’clock - she’ll have gone to work. (ее не будет уже раньше 9 часов, до 9 ч.)
- We’re late. The film will already have started by the time we get to the cinema. (фильм начнется раньше, чем они придут)
Сравните will have (done) с другими формами perfect:
- Ted and Amy have been married for 24 years. (present perfect)
- Next year they will have been married for 25 years.
- When their son was born, they had been married for three years. (past perfect)
