<future perfect tense>
ex) He will have taken them to school by 8:00 tomorrow.
<present progressive tense>
ex) He is taking them to school.
<past progressive tense>
ex) He was taking them to school when I called him
<future progressive tense>
ex) He will be taking them to school at 7:30 tomorrow morning.

ex) will have been taking: I would also appreciate an example on this one, too.
I'd appreciate your help.

The others are fine. Here are my comments:
<future tense>
ex) He will take them to school tomorrow. /He is going to take them to school tomorrow.-- Note that there is no single 'future tense' and that the 'will'-future is not the most common one at all. You should properly introduce at least the 'be going to' future at this same time.
