Future prefect tense: a future action will have taken place.

Question 1

What is the Future Perfect Tense?

Answer 1

The future perfect past tense is used to describe an action that will already be complete in the future before a definite time.

For example:

‘I won’t get home until 20:00 now, by which time the film will have finished.’

All four conjugations form the future perfect tense in the same way and use the following endings.

Latin English
-ero I
-eris you (singular)
-erit he/she/it
-erimus we
-eritis you (plural)
-erint they

To form the future perfect of a verb, remove the ‘-i’ from the third principal part of the verb and* add the relevant ending above.*

For example:

confirmo, confirmare, confirmavi, confirmatum (1) to confirm.
