What is the Future Perfect Passive?
The Future Perfect Passive is used when we want to focus on the action or result, not on who does it. It describes something that will have been done by a certain point in the future.
👉 Form:Subject + will have been + past participle
Examples:
By next year, the new bridge will have been completed.
By 8 p.m., dinner will have been served.
By tomorrow, the invitations will have been sent.
We use it when the doer of the action is unknown or unimportant.
