Tenses: Simple Future, Future Progressive, or Future Perfect?

This afternoon, my niece asked me an English grammar question:

What's the difference between simple future, future progressive, and future perfect tenses?

Besides some explanation, I drew a timeline and gave example sentences.



Nodding and tucking the paper into her grammar book, she seemed to understand it.

A picture can paint a thousand words. When teaching grammar, I always use timelines. After drawing the line, the first thing to do is to indicate "Now." It all starts from there.
