Using the Future Perfect

An action that will be completed before a certain moment or another action in the future

The Future Perfect describes an action that will already be completed before a certain point in the future, or before another action begins, and tense expressions such as, for example, can often be used: by the time…- by that moment, time, as ...; by that time, by then- by this time, by that time; before- before; after- after; etc.

For example:
By next November, I will have received my promotion.
By next November I get promotion.

By the time he gets home, she will have cleaned the entire house.
By the time he gets home, she clean up throughout the house.

I will not have finished this test by 3 o "clock.

How many countries will you have visited by the time you turn 50?
How many countries are you visit by the time you turn fifty?

Please note that the steps in subordinate clauses(such actions italicized) are expressed in Simple Present, not Simple Future. This is because these actions are in relative tense clauses that do not use the future tense (see explanation below).

A continuous action that will end before a certain time or another action in the future

The Future Perfect is used with non-long-term verbs and with mixed-group verbs that cannot be used in the continuous tense to indicate long-acting, which will complete before a certain moment or other action in the future. This action may have begun in the past and may continue up to a specified point in the future, or it may only begin in the future and end before another point in the future.

For example:
I will have been in London for six months by the time I leave.
I I will be in London for six months by the time I leave.

By Monday, Susan will have had my book for a week.
By Monday Susan will keep my book for a week now.

Despite the fact that using Future Perfect in this sense is limited to non-long-term verbs and mixed-group verbs that cannot be used in the continuous tense, the verbs live, work, teach and study can also sometimes be used in this way, although they are not verbs of the non-long group.

The future tense is not used in subordinate clauses of time

Future Perfect, like all future tenses, is not used in subordinate clauses that begin with adverbs of time, such as: when- when; while- when, while; before- before; after- after; by the time- by the time when; as soon as- once; if- if; unless- if not; etc. Instead of Future Perfect in this case, use Present Perfect.

For example:
will have finished my homework. ( Wrong.)
I am going to see a movie when I have finished my homework. ( Right.)
I will watch a movie when finish their homework.

To consider the question of how Future Perfect, we need to turn to the concept of the infinitive of the same name. The future tense is formed with the auxiliary verb will, and it is always followed by the indefinite form of the verb.

In our case, the grammatical verb construction will look like this:

Will + Have + Participle II, and everything to the right of the auxiliary verb is the Perfect Infinitive.

The infinitive is an invariable verb form, so we have no right to make any changes to it. Under no circumstances should the has form be used or any auxiliary words be inserted between have and Participle II.

For Future Perfect, slightly different rules are used, so here you need to be a little more careful in some cases. Given the foregoing and the experience of studying Present Perfect and Past Perfect, several provisions can be deduced:

Pay attention to which verb is used to form Participle II. If it is not in the table irregular verbs, then use the ending - ed (stayed, started). If it is in the table, then use the third form (run, taught, swum).
Perform all manipulations in interrogative or negative sentences only with the verb will - the rest of the construction should remain unchanged. See examples below.
Just as in the Past Perfect time, a moment in the future is needed before which the action we are describing will be performed. Often this is an event that happens according to a schedule or agreement, but sometimes we have to become unwitting predictors.
Another very important indicator - if a moment in the future is described by some landmark event, then it is most often set in time present simple.

Now, in Future Perfect time, the rules and examples do not seem too complicated to us, and we can write several sentences in interrogative, affirmative and negative forms.

Will you have written your poem by the time the poetry contest starts? Will you have written your poem by the time the poetry competition starts?

Nick will have seen that film the third time tomorrow evening. Tomorrow night Nick will see this film for the third time.

My parents will not have come home until seven o'clock in the evening. My parents won't come home until seven o'clock in the evening.

In Future Perfect, you can give examples of polite requests:

Mother, will you please have sent me some money by Tuesday? Mom, please send me some money by Tuesday.

Will you please have switched the heater on by 8 pm? Please turn on the heater by 8 pm.

Now solve in Future Perfect example sentences:

They will have (stop) training by Saturday.
Mark will not have (come) when his mother (bring) a new shirt.
will girls have (watch) the whole series by September?

For Future Perfect, the table is easy to fill out. You should carefully reread the text, look through dictionaries and reference books. Fantasy will also play an important role - after all, you will have to predict various situations.
