Question and options
Pick out the appropriate tense of verb given in the bracket.
Chandar __________ (work) in this company for ten years by next year.
Chandar __________ (work) in this company for ten years by next year.
- will be working
- had been working
- has been working
- will have been working
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - will have been working
An action continuing over a period up to a future point ('for ten years by next year') takes the future perfect continuous: will have been working. 'Will be working' has no completed-duration sense, 'had been working' and 'has been working' refer to the past and present rather than a point next year.
