you will have you'll have you'll've
he will have have he'll have he'll've
she will have she'll have she'll've

we will have we'll have we'll've
they will have they'll have they'll've

 The future perfect tense expresses action in the
future before another action in the future. This is
the past in the future. For example:

at the station at 9.15am. When you arrive, the
train will have left.
2.You can call me at work at 8am. I will have arrived
at the office by 8.

have slept for a long time.
