The future perfect simple tense is used:
(1) to describe an action finishing before a time in the future, e.g. “By July this year, the bursary trainees will have achieved their ‘intermediate’ qualification and be ready to start their careers as professional dry stone wallers.”
(2) when a future time is implied or is not stated, e.g., “Candidates will have experience in children’s fiction publishing, and will have worked on both illustrated and non-illustrated titles.”
(3) to make a deduction about something that has already happened, e.g. “Badgers will have lived in that sett for perhaps hundreds of years. Badgers don’t like to be moved.”
