Explanation:
1) by this time , the committee would have been arguing on this point for two hours
2) he would have been writing by 8 a.m.
3) the boys would have been playing for two hours
The future progressive tense describes an activity that is currently ongoing and will carry on into the future. To convert the sentence to this form,
- Add the auxiliary verbs 'will be' before the verb
- Change the verb form to the progressive form by adding '-ing' to the end of the word.
1. By this time, the committee will have been arguing on this point for two hours.
The above sentence cannot be converted to the future progressive tense due to the presence of the word 'for' and instead, we convert to the future perfect progressive tense, which indicates actions that have been continuing and will continue till some point in the future.
We change to this form by adding the auxiliary verb 'have'.
2. He will be writing by 8 am.
3. The boys will be playing cricket for two hours.
4. They will have been waiting for us since morning.
The above sentence cannot be converted to the future progressive tense due to the presence of the word 'since' and instead, we convert to the future perfect progressive tense.
5. By the end of the week, she will have been learning French for two years.
The above sentence cannot be converted to the future progressive tense due to the presence of the word 'since' and so, we convert to the future perfect progressive tense.
