b) Negative Sentences

Structure/Formula

The Structure/Formula for Negative Sentences in Future Perfect Continuous Tense is as given below-

• (Subject + ‘will not have been’ + Main Verb + Object)
• (Subject + ‘will not have been’ + Present Participle + Object)

Rules for ‘Negative-Future Continuous’ Sentences-

‘Will not have been’ is used between the subject and the main verb. The ‘not’ negates the sentence which otherwise would have been a positive sentence. Verb for used is Present Participle that is –‘ing’ form, followed by the Object.

Below are some examples of Negative sentences in Future Continuous Form-

• I will not have been studying since morning.
• She will not have been swimming for two years.
• They will not have been practicing law for five years.

• She will not have been practicing since Monday.

c) Negative – Interrogative Sentences

The Negative-Future Continuous’ sentences as given above may be converted into a combination of Negative-Interrogative sentences by making simple minor changes as below-

• Will I not have been studying since morning?
• Will she not have been swimming for two years?
• Will they not have been practicing law for five years?
• Will he not have been reading since morning?
• Will she not have been cooking since afternoon?

In the above sentences only a minor change has been done which transforms it into Negative-Interrogative sentences i.e. ‘will’ is placed before the ‘subject’.

Also the Negative sentences or Negative-Interrogative sentences may also be prefixed with question words as shown below. First we will understand the concept with the help of a simple formula-

• Question Word + Negative Future Perfect Continuous Sentence→ Negative Interrogative Future Perfect Continuous Sentence
• Question Word + Negative Interrogative Future Perfect Continuous Sentence→ Negative Interrogative Future Perfect Continuous Sentence

That is if a Negative sentences is prefixed with a question word, it becomes Negative-Interrogative. For ex-

• She will not have been swimming for five years. (Negative)
• Why she will not have been swimming for five years? (Negative-Interrogative)
• You will not have been painting since afternoon. (Negative)
• How you will not have been painting since afternoon? (Negative- Interrogative)

But, if an already Negative-Interrogative sentence is prefixed with a question word it remains Negative- Interrogative.

For Example-

• Will I not have been studying since morning? (Negative-Interrogative)
• How I will not have been studying since morning? (Negative-Interrogative)
• Will she not have been cooking since afternoon? (Negative-Interrogative)
• Why she will not have been cooking since afternoon? (Negative-Interrogative)
