The Future Perfect
|
Definition :
The Future Perfect verb tense is used to compare an action or a
point in time in the future with an action that happened before
that future time. Example: I will eventually obtain my high school diploma. To obtain my diploma, I must succeed a number of compulsory subjects. It is thus impossible to get my diploma without my succeeding these subjects. I can therefore express this with the following sentence:
By the time I obtain my diploma, I will have succeeded all
my compulsory subjects. Note: It is necessary and obligatory to succeed in the subjects before obtaining the diploma. How
to write the Future Perfect: To
write the Future Perfect you must conjugate the future of the verb To
Have with the Past Participle of the verb you are conjugating.
