EDUCATION TIMEFUTUREPERFECT
Let's look at the formation of the affirmative, negative and interrogative tenses of the Future Perfect.
The affirmative form of the Future Perfect is formed using the auxiliary verb to have in the future tense, namely ‘ will have’ and a past tense verb, i.e. verb ending -ed, or the 3rd form of irregular verbs - participles 2:
She will have arrived at the station by tonight.
She will arrive at the station in the evening.
They will have built a new house by the end of the year.
They will complete the new house by the end of the year.
In the negative form to the auxiliary verb will particle is added not, which has the short form won’ t.
The future perfect tense is used to express an action that will take place at a certain point in the future.
- She will have cleaned the entire house by the time he gets home. She will clean the whole house for his return.
- They will have finished their course by the end of May. They will complete the course by the end of May.
Education time
The future perfect tense is formed using an auxiliary verb will have +V3(3rd form of the semantic verb (see table of irregular verbs)). If the semantic verb is correct, an ending is added to it -ed.
- By the time I finish this course, I will have taken five tests. When I finish this course I will write 5 tests.
NB! To form an affirmative form of a sentence, it is possible to use the auxiliary verb shall have for the 1st person (I, we - I, we). Using will be for the 1st person is not a mistake!
Negative sentence formed with an auxiliary verb will not have(shall not have) (won’t/shan’t - shortened forms)+ V3.
- I shall not have finished this test by 2 o'clock. I won't finish the test by 2 o'clock.
- She will not have graduated from university by next year. She won't graduate by next year.
For education interrogative sentence the verb comes first in the sentence will/shall + pronoun (subject) + have + semantic verb in the third form (V3). If an interrogative sentence begins with a question word (What? Who? When? Why? Which? Whose?), then the verb will/shall takes second place in the sentence, the pronoun takes third place, etc.
- Shall I have finished this test by 2 o'clock? Will I finish the test by 2 o'clock?
- Will you have graduated from university by next year? Will you graduate by next year?
Signal words (time markers, cue words)
- by - before, to;

Now that you are no longer concerned about the question “How is the Future Perfect formed,” let’s move on to the next point.
Future Perfect usage
- 1. We use the Future Perfect Simple for actions that will be completed before a certain time in the future.
Examples:
- They' ll have finished building the house by tomorrow afternoon - They will finish building the house by tomorrow.
—We' ll have made the decision by Tuesday - We will make a decision by Tuesday.
—Ron will have written his third novel by the end of September – Ron will write his third novel by the end of September.
— Tomorrow George will have been single for a month - Tomorrow George will have been single for one month.
The future perfect tense is often used with prepositions by or in:
-He' ll have saved enough money to buy a car by Christmas – He will save enough money to buy a car for Christmas.
— In December, I' ll have worked here for 4 years – In December I will work here for 4 years.
Note:by, not…until/till are used with the future perfect tense. But until/till are used only in negative sentences.
— We won't have built the shed until Monday.
One more point, expressions “…from now”, “in…time” can be used instead in.
Examples:
- It's possible that ten years from now, I’ll have lived in England - Perhaps in ten years I will live in England.
- It's likely that in seventy years’ time, researchers will have found a cure for cancer - It is likely that in seventy years, researchers will find a cure for cancer.
- 2. You may find it strange to use the future form to talk about the past.
Remember, the Future Perfect tense is based on what you know now - so it is actually the present form. When we speak, we cannot say with 100% certainty what will happen in the future. We also don't know everything that happened in the past. The Future Perfect is used when we express expectations that something is likely to have happened.
Examples:
— Joe will certainly have got to Cambridge by now. It takes 30 minutes – Joe must have reached Cambridge. The journey takes only 30 minutes. (I don't know if he made it to Cambridge, I'm guessing he is there).
—She' ll probably have noticed that her husband cheats on her - She probably noticed that her husband was cheating on her.
In such cases, sentences in Russian will be translated with the words “should be”, “probably”, “possibly”.
- 3. Sometimes we can use the future perfect and equivalently.
In these two sentences below there is no difference in meaning because the word before makes the sequence of events clear:
-I' ll arrive before they get there. I' ll have arrived before they get there.
But without prepositions like by the time or before that make the sequence of events clear, you need to use the future perfect to show what happened first.
Let's look at examples:
— At 10 o’clock I’ ll leave- This means that I will wait until ten o'clock and then leave.
— At 10 o’clock I’ ll have left“That means I’ll be gone before ten o’clock.”
- 4. The future perfect tense can also be used in conditional sentences with if.
Examples:
— If we don’t hurry up, they’ll have eaten all the food when we get there – If we don’t hurry, they will eat all the food when we get there.
-I' ll have finished painting the roof within three hours if it doesn’t rain – I will finish painting the roof within three hours if it doesn’t rain.
When not to use Future Perfect
The future perfect tense is used only for actions that will be completed before a certain point in the future. In other words, the action you are talking about must have a deadline. If you don't mention a date, use the simple future tense instead of the future perfect tense.
Right: I'll leave.
Wrong: I'll have left .
Remember that sometimes it is impossible to understand what the intended meaning of a sentence is without word markers.
Word markers (time indicators) Future Perfect
The use of signal words in the future perfect tense is necessary, since without them you may remain misunderstood.
· By … (by tomorrow, by next week, by the end of the year, etc.)
· By this time … (by this time tomorrow, by this time next week, etc.)
· In… (in 2 weeks, in 5 years, etc.)
· When/Before…
Examples with words satellites:
— I’ll have got my visa by the end of the week– I will receive my visa by the end of the week.
— Jessica will have completed her Master’s Degree by September Jessica will receive her master's degree by September.
— By the time you receive this letter I’ll have finished my final exam - By the time you receive this letter, I will have passed my final exam.
— I hope we’ll have recovered by 11 o'clock“I hope we’ll be better by 11 o’clock.”
— He'll have repaired TV by 8 o'clock tomorrow He will have repaired the TV by eight o'clock tomorrow.
