Topic: Future Perfect

Section A

The future perfect simple (will have + past participle) is used to talk about actions or situations that will be complete before a specific time in the future.

• Jack is planning to leave his house at 10pm tonight. If I arrive at 11pm, he’ll have already left.

The future perfect is the future of the present perfect (have/has + past participle).

We use the present perfect to talk about actions or situations that happened before or up to now:

• Jack isn’t at home right now. He has already left.

Section B

We often use the future perfect with time expressions such as by and by the time, by this time next ...:

• By this time next year, we’ll have been married for nearly ten years.

• By the time you get there, she’ll have gone home.

Section C

Compare the future perfect simple with the future perfect continuous (will have + been + verb -ing):

Future perfect simple

We use the future perfect simple to talk about completed actions:

• At 6pm, I’ll have left work.

We use the future perfect simple to say how much or how many:

• By the end of the year, I’ll have been to Greece five times

Future perfect continuous

We use the future perfect continuous to talk about activities in progress up to a point in the future:

• By this time next year, I’ll have been working in London for almost a decade.

We can use the future perfect continuous to say how long:

• By August, we’ll have been living here for almost six months.
