Complete List of Future
Perfect Forms
USE 1 Completed Action
Before Something in the
Future
The Future Perfect expresses
the idea that something will
occur before another action in
the future. It can also show
that something will happen
before a specific time in the
future.
Examples:
By next November , I will
have received my
promotion.
By the time he gets home,
she is going to have
cleaned the entire house .
I am not going to have
finished this test by 3
o' clock.
Will she have learned
enough Chinese to
communicate before she
moves to Beijing?
Sam is probably going to
have completed the
proposal by the time he
leaves this afternoon.
By the time I finish this
course, I will have taken
ten tests.
How many countries are
you going to have visited
by the time you turn 50?
Notice in the examples above
that the reference points
( marked in italics) are in
Simple Present rather than
Simple Future . This is because
the interruptions are in time
clauses , and you cannot use
future tenses in time clauses.
USE 2 Duration Before
Something in the Future
(Non -Continuous Verbs)
With Non-Continuous Verbs
and some non-continuous
uses of Mixed Verbs, we use
the Future Perfect to show
that something will continue
up until another action in the
future.
Examples:
I will have been in
London for six months by
the time I leave.
By Monday, Susan is
going to have had my
book for a week.
Although the above use of
Future Perfect is normally
limited to Non-Continuous
Verbs and non-continuous
uses of Mixed Verbs, the
words "live," "work," "teach,"
and "study" are sometimes
used in this way even though
they are NOT Non-Continuous
Verbs.
REMEMBER No Future in
Time Clauses
Like all future forms, the
Future Perfect cannot be used
in clauses beginning with time
expressions such as: when,
while, before, after, by the
time, as soon as, if, unless,
etc. Instead of Future Perfect,
Present Perfect is used.
Examples:
I am going to see a movie
when I will have finished
my homework. Not
Correct
I am going to see a movie
when I have finished my
homework. Correct
