Rotter1. It is estimated that the world population will be risen to 9.7 billion by the year 2050.Wrong, because rise is an intransitive verb and thus cannot be used in the passive voice (be + past

Cool Breeze says even the 3rd one is fine.
The population increase borders a natural process.
So is it fine to say 'will rise to' ?
I will be 100 in 2010.
This is fine as I am am 99 today.

Hello Rotter,
Yes, your third sentence is also fine.
1. X will have happened by 2090.
2. X will happen by 2090.
Here, #1 presents X from an imaginary point beyond 2010 (i.e. it is in the past, at that point).
#2 presents X from the moment of speaking (i.e. it is in the future, at that point).
All the best,
MrP

I am very surprised to learn 'will be risen' , 'will have risen and 'will rise' are all correct.
If you are 99 this year, you will be 100 next year.
No doubt about it.
For me, population rise is a kind of a natural process where you can't set an exact figure.

I know very well about your prowess in English.
Mr Pedantic wrote the following:

I thought he approved the words 'will be risen'.
I am not so good at understanding advanced grammar aspects.
Could you please tell me what he wrote he

Simply: No passive construct for any of your "population" sentences.
