1: We use the future perfect to say 'how long' for an action that starts before and continues up to another action or time in the future. Usually we need 'for'. We can also use the future perfect continuous here so we often use the future perfect simple with stative verbs. If we use 'when', we usually need the present simple .
What are traditionally called the 12 tenses are in fact 12 combinations of tense (relating to time) and aspect (how the verb is experienced, i.e. as a completed action or as still in progress). It is important to understand why we would choose a particular tense or aspect in a particular situation. For example, how can āHe will arrive at 9pmPeter will phone me as soon as he has landed in Madrid. In English, the time clauses are introduced by conjunctions such as when, before, after, as soon as, till, until, while or time expressions such as the minute, the moment, once etc. We dont use the future tense in a time clause.
