English tenses and prepositions are the greatest problems for those learning our fair language, especially if they come from languages with them. We will be arriving in Sydney in approximately 11 hours also could be expressed We will arrive ... To use the future perfect, we need another future action before it: By the time we arrive in Sydney in 11 hours, the president will already have spoken .
