El Futuro Perfecto Continuo (o perfecto), también llamado en español «futuro progresivo anterior» y future perfect continuous en inglès, es bastante difícil de dominar pero puede ser práctico.
Se utiliza para decir cuánto tiempo algo habrá durado hasta cierto punto en el futuro. La duración de la acción suele especificarse con la expresión de tiempo for o since (for 5 minutes, for two years, since Thursday…). El punto en que se habrá llevado a cabo la acción suele indicarse en el presente simple con when o by the time.

- In just one week from now I will have been living in Tokyo for five years (= En una semana habré vivido en Tokio durante cinco años.).

⚠️ ¿Futuro Continuo o Futuro Perfecto Continuo?
Si no se especifica una duración como ‘for ten minutes‘, ‘for two weeks‘ o ‘since Friday‘, muchos angloparlantes prefieren usar el futuro continuo en lugar del futuro perfecto continuo. Ten cuidado porque esto puede cambiar el significado de la frase.
El futuro continuo insiste en la acción interrumpida, mientras que el futuro perfecto continuo insiste en un tiempo antes de un evento futuro.
