You're working on a Grade 5 Verbs Worksheet focused on the Future Perfect Progressive Tense.

---

✔ First, let’s understand what the Future Perfect Progressive Tense is:

> The future perfect progressive tense (also called future perfect continuous) is used to describe an action that will have been happening for a period of time up until a specific point in the future.

#### 📌 Structure:
> Subject + will have been + verb-ing

Example:
> *I will have been studying all night.*
→ This means the studying started before midnight and will continue up to midnight.

---

🔍 Now, let’s fill in the blanks using this structure:

---

#### 1. This show ________ at midnight.
✔ will have been ending
*(The show will be in the process of ending — it started earlier and will still be ending at midnight.)*

---

#### 2. My family ________ turkey and potatoes for Thanksgiving.
✔ will have been eating
*(They’ll be in the middle of eating turkey — the meal started before Thanksgiving ends.)*

---

#### 3. Stanley and Rose ________ for the history test all day.
✔ will have been studying
*(They’ll be continuing their study session up until the end of the day.)*

---

#### 4. My teacher ________ us homework tonight.
✔ will have been giving
*(The teacher will be in the process of assigning homework — perhaps over a period leading up to tonight.)*

> ⚠️ Note: This one is a bit tricky — “giving” as an ongoing action might feel odd, but grammatically it fits. A more natural sentence might be “will have given,” but since we’re practicing progressive, we use “will have been giving.”

---

#### 5. The plumber ________ the sink in our kitchen.
✔ will have been fixing
*(He’ll be in the middle of fixing the sink — the job started earlier and continues up to a future point.)*

---

#### 6. Jeff ________ baseball with his friends.
✔ will have been playing
*(Jeff will be continuing to play baseball up until a certain future time.)*

---

#### 7. Our favorite team ________ in the finals of the tournament.
✔ will have been playing
*(They’ll be in the middle of playing the finals — the game has started and is still going on.)*

---

#### 8. The workers ________ the sheet over the summer.
✔ will have been repairing
*(They’ll be in the process of repairing the sheet — the repair job spans the entire summer.)*

---

✏️ Now try on your own:

#### 1. Form a sentence using the Future Perfect Progressive Tense.
✔ Example:
> *By next Friday, I will have been learning Spanish for three months.*

#### 2. Form another sentence using the Future Perfect Progressive Tense.
✔ Example:
> *At 8 PM tomorrow, she will have been driving for six hours straight.*

---

💡 Key Tip:

Always think:
> “Will this action still be happening at a specific future time? And will it have started before that time?”
If yes → Use will have been + -ing.

---

1. will have been ending
2. will have been eating
3. will have been studying
4. will have been giving
