Before. Maybe they are going to see that film that night, for the seventh time? |

Yes, it is after. Don�t know how I missed that. Monder, did you add �after� later? Otherwise, I need new specs. |

Thanks a million. In fact , after was one of the option. I don�t get why it is like that. The usual pattern to follow is : By next month I will have been seeing Jake for one year. Can�t we leave the sentence without anything before tonight. Cheers |

After is definitely the best choice. Before really doesn�t fit very well, because the present perfect works better in that situation, although even that sounds a little awkward. Remember that the future perfect is for action that will be completed in the future, and if you use before, the action is already completed now. Very strictly speaking, if you are going to see the film this afternoon, being the sixth time, you could use before, but that is a rather unusually constructed situation. Bruce |
