##### Unit 23. Will be doing and will have done

미래진행과 미래완료





#0. Study this example situation:


Now, these people are standing in line to get into the stadium.


An hour from now, the stadium will be full.

Everyone will be watching the game.


Three hours from now, the stadium will be empty.

The game will have ended. Everyone will have gone home.




#1. Will be doing (Future Continuous)



a. I will be doing something (future continuous) = I will be in the middle of doing it:


+ I'm leaving on vacation this Saturday. This time next week, I'll be lying on the beach or swimming in the ocean.

+ You have no chance of getting the job. You'll be wasting your time if you apply for it.


* Compare will be doing with other continuous forms:

- past: At 10:00 yesterday, Kelly was at the office. She was working.  어제 10시에 켈리는 사무실에서 일하고 있었다.

- present: It's 10:00 now. She is at the office. She is working.  지금은 10시다. 그녀는 사무실에서 일하고 있다.

- future: At 10:00 tomorrow, she will be at the office. She will be working.  내일 열시에, 그녀는 사무실에서 일하고 있을 것이다.



b. We also use will be doing to talk about complete actions in the future. (필요한 것이 완전히 갖춰진, 완전한 행동)

In these examples, will be -ing is similar to (be) going to ...




#2. Will have done (Future Perfect)



a. We use will have done to say that something will already be complete before a time in the future. (미래의 어느 시점에 이미 완료될 일)


+ Sally always leaves for work at 8:30 in the morning. She won't be at home at 9:00 - She'll have gone to work.

+ We're late. The movie will already have started by the time we get to the theater.


* Compare will have done with other perfect forms: 

present perfect: Ted and Amy have been married for 24 years.

future perfect: Next year they will have been married for 25 years.

past perfect: When their first child was born, they had been married for three years.




# Exercises


+ Josh goes to work every day. After breakfast, he leaves home at 8:00 and arrives at work at about 8:45. He starts work immediately and continues until 12:30, when he has lunch (which takes about half an hour). He starts work again at 1:15 and goes home at exactly 4:30. Every day follows the same routine, and tomorrow will be no exception.


+ Call me after 8:00. We'll have finished dinner by then.


+ Ben is on vacation, and he is spending his money very quickly. If he continues like this, he will have spend all his money before the end of his vacation.


+ Lisa is from New Zealand. She is traveling around South America right now. So far she has more than 3,000 miles.

(* 그래서 지금까지... 이런의미)


+ If you need to contact me, I'll be staying at the Bellmore Hotel until Friday.
