Future Perfect Continuous: frases negativas

450 exercícios de lacuna, 45 testes de dez

Not vem depois de will, antes de have been.

O padrão

Not entra depois de will, e o resto fica fixo:

They will not have been waiting. → They won’t have been waiting.

Dizer que o tempo será curto

A negativa normalmente nega a extensão, não a atividade:

By Friday she won’t have been working here for long — only three weeks.

Tranquilizar

Um uso característico diz a alguém que a espera não terá sido ruim:

Don’t worry, they won’t have been standing there more than ten minutes.

Conferindo a lógica

Como na versão passada, a negativa pode inverter o sentido de uma causa. He won’t be tired because he won’t have been driving funciona; he’ll be exhausted because he won’t have been sleeping também funciona, mas as duas pedem leitura atenta. Na dúvida, diga a frase inteira em voz alta e confira se o motivo produz o resultado.
