Будущее совершенное продолженное время в прошедшем – это форма глагола, которая заменяет Future Perfect Continuous в придаточных предложениях, когда сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в прошедшем времени (согласно закону согласования времен). Future Perfect Continuous in the Past, как и Future Perfect Continuous, переводятся на русский язык будущим временем глагола несовершенного вида.
- Например: I knew you would have been waiting for us by two o’clock. – Я знал, что Вы будете нас ждать к двум часам.
Отметим, что данная форма глагола в современном английском языке употребляется крайне редко и, в основном, используется в официально-деловом стиле (например, в документах).
Будущее совершенное продолженное время в прошедшем образуется так же, как и Future Perfect Continuous, только вместо вспомогательного глагола will используется вспомогательный глагол would. Затем – комбинация have been + смысловой глагол с окончанием –ing во всех лицах и числах.
Следовательно, для образования этой формы времени используется конструкция:
would have been + смысловой глагол с окончанием –ing.
Иногда еще в первом лице единственного и множественного числа вместо вспомогательного глагола would используется глагол should, однако на данный момент это – уже устаревшая форма (равно как и использование глагола shall для обозначения других будущих времен).
В качестве примера проспрягаем глагол to wait в будущем совершенном продолженном времени.
| единственное число | множественное число | ||
| 1 лицо | I would have been waiting | 1 лицо | we would have been waiting |
| 2 лицо | you would have been waiting | 2 лицо | you would have been waiting |
| 3 лицо | he would have been waiting
she would have been waiting |
3 лицо | they would have been waiting |
В настоящее время глагол would нередко сокращается с помощью апострофа (‘) и буквы d, которые ставятся после подлежащего (например, I’d). Однако, наряду с сокращенной, может использоваться и полная форма.
Для образования отрицательной формы используется частица отрицания not, которая ставится после слова would. Например:
- He told that his father would not have been leaving the city by the end of the month. – Он сказал, что его отец не уедет из города до конца месяца.
Чтобы задать вопрос в данном времени, используется вспомогательный глагол would, который ставится перед подлежащим на первом месте, если вопрос – общий или альтернативный, или после вопросительных слов, если вопрос – специальный. Сказуемое при этом будет выражено конструкцией have been + смысловой глагол с окончанием –ing.
Например:
- Would you have been waiting for us at the office by the evening? – Вы нас будете ждать в офисе к вечеру?
- Whom would you have been waiting by seven o’clock? – Кого вы будете ждать к семи часам?
Следовательно, данная форма времени содержит в себе окончание –ing, которое выражает продолженное время, а также вспомогательный глагол have, что является признаком совершенного времени. Однако в обыденной речи чаще всего используются либо будущее совершенное время, либо будущее продолженное, или, иногда, сложные предложения разбиваются на два простых. Это объясняется тем, что предложение содержит большое количество служебных слов и может быть затруднено для понимания собеседником (особенно в устной речи).
