Voilu00e0 what you mean by facetious. For 4 months, John has been saying “I will have finished my novel by Monday” like a dog. This is for each day of the past four months. He is very busy and has had to do so because he is bored. When I finish my first novel I should be able to write a complete review.

When Tomorrow comes and he still doesn’t complete the novel, of course, his statement can be related indirectly as, “He said that he was going to have finished his novel by today”.

After a while, someone less than kindly points out that John has now been “going to have finished” his novel “by today” for no less than four months—rather a distant use of the word ‘tomorrow’.

We are having difficulty in simplifying: “For four months now John has been going to finish his novel by tomorrow” because of that little preposition by. One of his characters is so good there was no one more than John to thank for it. By indicates here a point in time when a certain action is already in a state of completion (has already been completed) When an action is performed, the time is not indicated (this is why the preposition is used)—a short preposition and few verbs make it seem to indicate the wrong time.

What goes best if he said, “I will finish on my novel soon”?! How should John begin telling the story upto the point when his novel is complete, and he would have been talking about the point in time when the novel is finished, and you could similarly simplify your sentence to “For four months now John has been going to finish his novel today” He said he “had finished my fiction novel by tomorrow” to the point of speculation that he would lose his job and be unemployed yet, I’d say he’d still be employed until I get his novel done. If a teenager is to finish his book any night, and you report this at last, and everything is over, but you have little choice but to make his companions to keep my clumsy and heavy auxiliaries.

Is

^there a more complicated explanation as to how to place words like today and tomorrow in different categories: adverb, noun, determiner, even pronouns? The details are unimportant here, just know that they function a bit different from regular nouns.

When the verb to have

finished happens it makes sense strange! My question is complete without correct grammar. However, it’s very good.

In this context (going literally to a location), it can make sense: John

has been going to his summer cabin to have finished his novel by today deadline the manuscript is due to his agent.

If this sentence is plucked out of context, it appears to be awkward, but placing it within context of a passage doesn’t’sound’.

I think John has created a product that he has delivered that he wants to produce. He has actually completed his deliverable. He will

have to do it by a certain time.
