Future perfect continuous/help
Message from shaaraf posted on 30-03-2013 at 21:47:43 (D | E | F)
Hello,

Could you help me please?
Thank you for your answers!

I bet he'll have been chatting to his friends online.( I understand that "will have been+verb(ing)use in is Future perfect continuous.
But in the next sentence "be lying" is not used "have been lying". Please tell me why.
I’m flying to Florida tonight. This time tomorrow, I’ll "be lying" on a beach drinking cocktails!
Also tell me the meaning of this sentence. "This time next week, Joyce will no longer be here".

Hello.
Tomorrow he will be on the beach. That's future. To use 'will have been lying', you would have to write something like this...By this time tomorrow, I will have been lying on the beach for two hours.
(By) this time next week, Joyce will no longer be here. Joyce is planning to leave. She will leave during the next few days, before the week is over.
I hope this helps.
Sherry
