注意事项
不是所有动词都适合用于进行时态:
- ❌ I will have been knowing him for five years.
- ✔️ I will have known him for five years.
将来完成进行时通常需要一个明确的时间参照点:
- ✔️ By next week, I will have been working on this project for a month.
- ❌ I will have been working on this project. (缺少时间参照)
在时间状语从句中,要用现在完成进行时而不是将来完成进行时:
- When I have been working (不是 will have been working) here for ten years, I will get a promotion.
- After she has been studying (不是 will have been studying) for three hours, she will take a break.
