18. Wedding Planning Adventures (Will have been…)

The construction “will have + verb 3rd form” is used to express actions that will be completed before a specific point in the future. Here are ten examples:

By the time you arrive, I will have finished cooking dinner.
They will have completed the project by the end of the month.
By next year, I will have graduated from university.
She will have read the book before the movie comes out.
By the time we leave, they will have cleaned the house.
By the time the guests arrive, we will have set up the decorations.
I will have saved enough money to buy a car by next summer.
By the time the concert starts, the band will have rehearsed for hours.
By the time the baby is born, they will have prepared the nursery.
He will have written the report before the deadline.

Now, let’s proceed with the conversation between Arunika and Advik imagining their uncle’s wedding:

Arunika: Hey Advik, have you heard? Uncle’s wedding is next month!

Advik: Yeah, I’m really excited for it! Can you believe it’s almost here?

Arunika: I know, right? I’ve been thinking about what we’ll be doing while Uncle gets ready.

Advik: Yeah, me too. I think we’ll have been helping decorate the venue by then.

Arunika: Definitely! And we’ll have been greeting guests as they arrive.

Advik: Plus, we’ll have been taking lots of photos to capture the memories.

Arunika: And let’s not forget about the food! We’ll have been tasting all the delicious dishes.
