Day 31 - the future past Flashcards
This grammar is used to talk about what will have been done in the future. The construction is almost the exact same as English.
Use werden + the past participle and auxiliary verb. Since werden is now occupying the spot after the subject, not only the participle, but also the unconjugated auxiliary verb will go the end of the sentence.
Study the following examples:
Tomorrow I will have written my essay.
Morgen werde ich (werden conjugated and inverted)
meinen Aufsatz geschrieben (past participle)
haben (infinitive of haben/sein).
Next month he will have already gone back to Germany.
Nächsten Monat wird er (werden conjugated and inverted)
schon nach Deutschland zurückgefahren (past participle)
sein (infinitive sein/haben).
