Future tense Hi
Could you please help me with these two sentences?
1. I will finish my course tomorrow at 4 o'clock.
2. I will have finished my course tomorrow at 4 o'clock.
Which sentence would be right to use and why? Is there any difference in meaning. I received an sms with the second sentence and I just thought to myself whether it would not be easier to use the first sentence instead. Thank you very much for your answer.

Teacher Re: Future tense They are both correct. #1 means that you will finish at exactly four o'clock. #2 means that you will finish sometime before four.
