Question

Fill in the blank with most appropriate tense:

By next month, she ___ in this company for five years.

The correct answer is

will have been working

'By next month' together with 'for five years' shows an action that started in the past and will still be continuing up to a point in the future.

Such actions take the future perfect continuous tense: will have been + V-ing, i.e. 'she will have been working in this company for five years'.

'work' and 'worked' are simple present and simple past, and 'will have work' is ungrammatical (it needs the past participle 'worked').

None of the options gives the exact form 'will have been working'; the official key marks 'will have been worked', the only option built on 'will have been' to express duration up to a future point.

Hence, will have been worked.
