For 3 hours

He will be tired because he'll have been exercising for 3 hours.
He will be tired because he'll be exercising for 2 hours.

Could you please explain the difference between them?

Anonymous Could you please explain the difference between them? Other than the one-hour difference, I assume. He will be tired because he'll have been exercising for three hours says that he will be tired after he has exercised for three hours.

  • Other than the one-hour difference, I assume.
  • He will be tired because he'll have been exercising for three hours says that he will be tired after he has exercised for three hours.
  • He will be tired because he'll be exercising for two hours can suggest that he will be tired during the exercise period (and then after).
  • There is really not much difference.

Ok, he'll be tired because he'll have been exercising for 3 hours.
Is it possible that he'll still be exercising at that moment of his tiredness?

Yes. Common sense, and not grammar, tells us that he will be getting more and more tired as he exercises, starting from the time when he begins to exercise. As the exercise continues, the tiredness will increase.
