The document discusses the future perfect and future perfect progressive tenses. It explains that the future perfect is used to talk about actions that will be completed by a certain time in the future. The future perfect progressive describes actions that will be in progress at a certain point in the future. Examples are provided for both tenses. The relationship between the future perfect and simple present is also described when referring to two future events.
