Default Re: 4 questions

The reason I didn't use any time marker is that I wasn't sure how to use them.This is very complicated since we don't have these tenses in our language,I doubt if I can use other structures alternatively,please see if I got it right or not:

At ten oclock, you will have been doing your homework for 3 hours.
Can I use something else with the same meaning maybe like this:
At ten oclock,it will be 3 hours that you're doing your homework(or something else instead of the underlined?)

And about the following sentence, does it mean that from February you should begin studying English,and it's going to last 2 years?

From February,you will be studying English for 2 years.

What if I change the From to In?Does it make sense?And if it does,could it be the alternate for the future perfect continious?Like this:

In February,you will be studying English for 2 years.

Thank you so much,
