I will/ will have studied English tomorrow/by tomorrow

Hi teachers! ??

Today I have a question regarding Future Perfect.

Firsly I want to know if it is possibke and grammatical to omit preposition such as by and until before a time adveb like in 1.

I also woder whether the other three sentebces below are grammatical and make sense.


1. I will have studied English tomorrow.

2. I will have studied English by tomorrow.

3. I will study English tomorrow.

4. I will study English by tomorrow.


Many many thanks from Korea.

Only (3) is right. The problem with the others is that they seem to suggest that studying English (in its entirety) is a short-term task that can be completed in a day. Compare, for example, "I will have done my English homework by tomorrow", which is OK because doing homework is a task that is completable within that timeframe.
