"Future Perfect" Tense in English Grammar

What Is Future Perfect?

The future perfect tense talks about the past in the future.

Structure

We form the future perfect tense with the help of two auxiliary verbs and the past participle of the main verb.

will + have + past participle

Aux #1

Aux #2

past participle

I

will

have

finished

She

will

have

arrived

If we invert the subject and 'will', we can make questions.
Negations are made with the help of 'not' placed between 'will' and 'have.'

Example

He will have forgotten. → Will he have forgotten?

You will have started. → You won't have started.

Use

We use the future perfect tense to talk about an action in the future before another action in the future (the past in the future).

Example

You can phone me at home at 10. I will have arrived home by 10.

On 19 November, we'll have been married for 20 years.
