Talking about the Future : Talking about the Future Learning English Online (LEO) Learning English Online (LEO) February 10, 2010 "Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.

Talking about the Future : Talking about the Future Learning English Online (LEO) Learning English Online (LEO) February 10, 2010 Perfect tenses specify the relationship between two times. In the case of the future perfect, there are two clauses. One gives a fixed point in the future, and the other specifies an event that will be complete by the time that point has been reached.
For example:
'This time next week, (fixed point in the future) we will have finished the job. (event)'
These clauses can be in any order, but if the temporal clause comes first, it usually has a comma.
'He will have forgotten about it by this time tomorrow.'
By this time tomorrow, he will have forgotten about it.' Future Perfect
