Question

Replace the blank with the future perfect continuous tense of the word given in the bracket:

By the end of this week, I _________________ here for three years. (live)

• A. was live
• B. will be living
• C. will have been living
• D. will live

Answer 1

The correct option is C will have been living

The future perfect continuous, also called future perfect progressive, is a verb tense that describes an action that will continue up until a point in the future.

Option C is correct. The future perfect continuous tense is usually constructed as will + have + been + the verb's present participle (verb root + -ing). Here, the present participle required would be "living". Option C follows this construction and is therefore correct.

Option A is incorrect as "was live" is in the past tense and not in the correct form, was living would be the correct form.

Option B is incorrect as "will be living" is future continuous and not future perfect continuous. It follows the pattern will + be + the present participle (verb root + -ing).

Option D is incorrect as "will live" is simple future and not future perfect continuous. It is used to describe an action that will occur in the future and be completed.
