4. things that didn't happen in the past & their imagined results

future continuous vs future perfect

What is the difference between the future continuous and the present continuous?

the present continuous is used to talk about social or work plans, normally used with a future time reference.

What are you doing this weekend?  -  I am fixing the roof.

The future continuous tense is used to suggest that a future event will be in progress over a limited period of time in the future.

I will be spending one or two weeks in France.

When is a
past perfect passive used?

Why do we use passives?

Academic/formal writing

To change the focus

When who or what causes the action is unknown or unimportant or obvious or 'people in general'

Ex. The police arrested him - He was arrested (by the police)

Past Perfect (passive)

How: had + past participle 

When: an event took place in the past before another past event 

Passive: had been + past participle 

past perfect: 

The police had never arrested me before I went to that party        

past perfect passive:

I had never been arrested before I went to that party           

Any Final Questions?
