About future perfect tense

Question

"He will cook dinner tomorrow night, and then he will have cooked dinner every night for a week."

Does the "will have cooked" in the 2nd clause mean the action will take place before "will cook" in the 1st clause? Does it signify that the person has already cooked dinner 6 times in the current week?

Thank you

Hi.

Thank you

First of all, your sentence doesn't make sense. Future Perfect Tense is used while describing action which will take place after something defined happens.

I will have finished my task after tommorow's noon.
When Susan arrives, I will have cooked our wedding anniversary dinner.

There can be one more example about using Causative.

I will be there tommorow and will have him do whatever it costs.

Guyper"He will cook dinner tomorrow night, and then he will have dinner cooked every night for a week."

If so, it means that he will cook dinner once and then someone else will cook dinner (he will order or pay someone for doing it).

Did I get you correctly?
