    If “Come quick and stay with me” is the basic sentence, what are you going to say? Big Brothers is a noun phrase that you’re using to say whom you’re addressing. “For” is used to mean “because” in this case so “for my house is big and sturdy” is a dependent clause explaining the reason why you’re telling them to stay with you.

    Can you use “shall have been”. If you google the phrase, you’ll see often examples of it in historical quotes.

    Can you explain some quotes that date back at least a few decades, that ‘shall have been’ is perfectly accurate but has fallen out of use: will have been? In modern usage ‘will have been’ is much more usual, and’shall have been’ would only be used in very formal writing such as legal contracts.

    In fact, this is future perfect and not

    perfect continuous.
