Good site for verb tense timelines practice - future perfect

Hi everyone,

As the subject says I'm looking for a good web site that has all the potential verb tenses illustrated on timelines, using the following system (which I think is generally used by everyone = X for dynamic verbs, a box for stative verbs etc, on the line for specific time, above the line for non-specific time etc, squiggly line for progressive etc)
Specifically, I'm having trouble thinking of how to represent future perfects.
For an example such as "By next week I will have painted the house" I'm putting an x above the line (to represent painted - non specific in time) and a dotted line vertically through the timeline just ahead of it marked "next week"

Thanks,
Steve
