WHEN I'M USING TE FUTURE PERFECT IS IT TELLING ME ABOUT WHAT I INTEND TO DO AND COMPLETE IN TE FUTURE.THIS IS SOMETIMES THAT I WILL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
BY USING THE FUTURE PERFECT I CAM IMAGINE HOW WILL BE FOR ME IN THE FUTURE.
WHEN I'M USING THE FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS IT IS EXPRESSING A PROCESS AND A TIME PERIOD FOR SOMETHING TO BE ON GOIN WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME.IT IS SETTING A GOAL AND A TIME PERIOD FOR A FUTURE CONTINUOUS COURSE OF ACTON.

Future Perfect Continuous is very unnatural and stupid to me! It's not even in my English In Use book (one of the world's most trusted reference books for English grammar). Anyway, I've never believed in grammar...

well, i really have to say that this tense is not very used, so i struggle with this tense all the time. the only way i can figure it out certainty is when i translate it into my language. i still learning to use it very frequently on my speech. About the future perfect progressive is even weird for me because it goes more than i can expect. i know it's something that still in proccess without been done yet. making sentences with this tense piss me off so much, but i have to deal with it because i have a test about it tomorrow morning. Even though i don't really like it, i think this tense is very intersting.

Future perfect continuous is extremely important. It can be used for any occasion when an action will have been developing to a point in the future, and is useful if the present point does not give an accurate answer
For example
Q: How long have you been living in Brazil
A present perfect continuous: I have been living here for t months and 27 days!!
A future perfect continuous: On saturday, I will have been living here for 3 months.
Q How long have you been running?
A present perfect continuous: I have been running for 4 years
A future perfect continuous: By the time of the race, I will have been running for nearly 5 years.

The future perfect exercise is not up to the mark.
