Future in the past *Future perfect* How do these two sentences sound to you? Which one would you personally prefer? (In which context?) 1. In a week it'll be half a year since the last time we saw each other. 2. We won't have seen each other for half a year in a week. How about these two? 1. This Friday we will have been working for three weeks on the new project. 2. It'll be three weeks this Friday since our team has been working on the new project. If you're curious, I'm looking for the most natural translation of these: 1. "Через неделю будет уже полгода, как мы встречались в последний раз, как мне кажется". 2. "В пятницу будет уже три недели, как наша команда работает над новым проектом".

Present Continuous What are the right ways to express this idea: 1. There are still a lot of difficulties that I deal with while I speak. 2. There are still a lot of difficulties that I am dealing with while I speak. 3. I still deal with a lot of difficulties while I speak. 4. I am still dealing with a lot of difficulties while I speak. (I intended to describe two regular actions.) If continuous is possible, could you refer me to the grammar rule that explains that? Thanks in advance!
