Future Perfect!
"Fure perfect can also be used to express an assumption on the part of the speaker.
E.g: You won't have heard the news, of course. (This means that i assume you have not heard the news)"
I've read these sentences from Advanced Language Practice by Micheal Vince with Peter Sunderland but i can't understand them. Can everybody here explain this confusing usage of future perfect to me?
E.g: You won't have heard the news, of course. (This means that i assume you have not heard the news)"
