FORM
: ___will + have + past participle__ OR __be + going to + have + past participle___

:::info
The __FUTURE PERFECT__ is used to speak about:
:::
- completed action happening **before** something in the future
- for duration **before** something in the future

**Examples:**

- We **will have arrived** Cairo by this time next week.
**OR:**
- We are **going to have** arrived in Cairo by this time next week. (Both actions will happen in the future. They will arrive in Cairo [finished action] before a certain point in time next week.)

---

- We **will have been** in Cairo for three weeks by the time you get here.
**OR:**
- We are **going to have been** in Cairo for three weeks by the time you get here. (Both actions will happen in the future. The first action happened over a duration of time [being in Cairo] before another action [the other person arrives])

:::warning
__GOING TO HAVE BEEN__ a bit bulky, but you can use it.
