Do you consider the folllowing sentences gramatically correct and acceptable in everyday use?


"Are you sure that, by the time we meet her, will she have been waiting for more than three hours?"

"Next time you come to visit me, I won't have been staying in London."

In the first, you have the subject she in the wrong place.
