Future Perfect

Question 1

As with the other perfect tenses, the future perfect is formed by combining the auxiliary verb “haber” with the past participle. In this case, “haber” is conjugated in the future tense.

Answer 1

HABER

    habré
    habrás
    habrá
    habremos
    habréis
    habrán

Question 2

The future perfect tense is used to describe what will have happened in the future before a different action takes place, or by a specific time.

Answer 2

I will have studied before I take the test.

He will have completed the task by six o’clock.

Question 3

To form the past participle, simply drop the infinitive ending (-ar, -er, -ir) and add -ado (for -ar verbs) or -ido (for -er, -ir verbs).

Answer 3

hablar - ar + ado = hablado

comer - er + ido = comido

vivir - ir + ido = vivido

Question 4

some past participles are irregular. Also remember that the past participle never changes form in the perfect tenses.

Answer 4

(yo) Habré escrito el libro antes del año nuevo.
I will have written the book before the new year.

(tú) ¿Habrás comprado una casa en un año?
Will you have bought a house in a year?

Question 5

(él) Habrá pagado todas las deudas para el dos de octubre.

He will have paid all the debt by October 2.

Answer 5

(nosotros) Habremos vuelto de España para el doce de junio.
We will have returned from Spain by June 12.

(vosotros) Para cuando Juan llegue, vosotros ya habréis salido.
By the time Juan arrives, you-all will already have left.

Question 6

The auxiliary verb and the past participle are never separated. To make the sentence negative, add the word “no” before the conjugated form of haber.

Answer 6

(yo) No habré comido.
I will not have eaten.

(tú) No habrás leído el libro.
You will not have read the book.

Question 7

(él) No habrá escrito la carta.
He will not have written the letter.

(nosotros) No habremos aprendido nada.
We will not have learned anything.

Answer 7

(vosotros) No habréis dormido.
You-all will not have slept.

(ellos) No habrán llegado.
They will not have arrived.

Question 8

Again, the auxiliary verb and the past participle are never separated. Object pronouns are placed immediately before the auxiliary verb.

Answer 8

Pablo le habrá dado un regalo a su esposa.

Pablo will have given a gift to his wife.

Question 9

To make this sentence negative, the word “no” is placed before the indirect object pronoun (le).

Answer 9

Pablo no le habrá dado ningún regalo a su esposa.

Pablo will not have given a gift to his wife.

Question 10

With reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun is placed immediatedly before the auxiliary verb. Compare how the present perfect differs from the simple present, when a reflexive verb is used.

Answer 10

Me lavo las manos. (present)
I wash my hands.
Me habré lavado las manos. (future perfect)
I will have washed my hands.

Question 11

To make this sentence negative, the word “no” is placed before the reflexive pronoun (me).

Answer 11

No me habré lavado las manos.

I will not have washed my hands.

Question 12

Questions are formed as follows.

Answer 12

¿Habrán llegado ya las chicas?
Will the girls have arrived?

¿Habrás comido ya?
Will you have already eaten?

Question 13

Here are the same questions in negative form. Notice how the auxiliary verb and the past participle are not separated.

Answer 13

¿No habrán llegado ya las chicas?
Will the girls not have already arrived?

¿No habrás comido ya?
Will you not have already eaten?
