Q

Future Perfect:

A

The future perfect tense is comparable to the other perfect tenses. It is formed with the future of haben or sein, and the past participle. The future perfect deals with the future as if it were already past time (he will have done it), or it is used to imply probability (that was probably him.) The latter case commonly uses the past tense in English though.

Erwirdgegangensein. He will have gone.

Ichwerdeesgenommenhaben. I will have taken it.
Eswirddunkelgeworden
sein. It will have become dark.

DaswirdRudigewesensein. That will have been Rudi. / That was probably Rudi.

When using modals, the future perfect tense can create the double infinitive construction, so make sure to put the double infinitive at the very end.
