Correct?

A: I will have been a doctor when you leave Italy.

A: I hope he will have been a good guy for the group.


Are these sentences correct?

  

Top answer

A sounds odd. It sounds like I will be a doctor during your stay in Italy but will no longer be a doctor at the time you leave. When someone is a doctor, they usually stay a doctor.
