1. Qual das frases abaixo não está no future perfect continuous? a) You will have been waiting here for three hours by 8 o'clock
Sladkaya [172]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete/unclear question. The full question read;

Which of the phrases below is <u>not</u> in the future perfect continuous?

a) You will have been waiting here for three hours by 8 o'clock.

b) You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.

c) By the end of next month I will have been living here for ten years.

d) When I finish this course, I will have been learning Italian for ten years.

e) Next month I will have been working here for two years.

Answer:

<u>b) You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.</u>

Explanation:

We make this conclusion because the phrase <em>"will have been" </em> (which is the future perfect of the verb "to be") is often added to the subject of a sentence to make it future perfect continuous.

However, after careful check of all the sentences,  we notice all of them except option b used the future perfect continuous phrase, <em>"will have been." </em>
