The "by" in "by next week"
I've been studying the future perfect, and I've been thinking that you'd use "por" for what I'm looking for (By next week, I will have swam)
Por la semana proxima/que viene, yo habré nadado. Por el mes proximo, habréis terminado el dibujo. Por mañana, usted habrá leído el periodico. Are all of those right? Or is it a different word for saying "by" tomorrow or "by" next week? Thanks! |

Para la semana que viene, habré nadado.
You should use the same word for the others, as well. |

So for all of these cases, whenever you want to say like "By next year______" it's always "para"?
