2. The Future Perfect tense is quite an easy
tense to understand and use. The Future
Perfect talks about the "past in the future".
It expresses the idea that something will
occur before another action in future.
It can also show that something will happen
before a specific time in future.
3. The structure of the Future Perfect tense is:
The first auxiliary verb (will) is invariable: will
The second auxiliary verb (have) is invariable in base
form: have
The main verb is invariable in past participle form: -
ed (or irregular)
For negative sentences we insert not after the first
auxiliary verb.
For question sentences, we exchange the subject
and the first auxiliary verb.
subject + Auxillary will + Auxillary have + Main verb
will have Past participle
