Future perfect simple and continuous

Improve your English today at ANGLOPOD.COM. Hi everyone, I’m Dan and today we’re going to learn about the future perfect tense, both simple and continuous. This might seem difficult, but really it’s quite easy. Let’s find out more…

So far, we have learnt about the present perfect and the past perfect. Now we need to talk about the future perfect. Just to review, we use the present perfect to talk about a period of time in the past up to the present and we use the past perfect to talk about a period of time in the past up to another point in the past.

The future perfect works in the same way. We use it to talk about a period of time up to a point in the future. Let’s see an example. “By midnight, I WILL HAVE FINISHED my homework”.

So this period of time starts from now and finishes at a point in the future, in this example ‘by midnight’. My homework is not finished yet. I’m still doing my homework. I still have a lot of homework to do. But at some time between now and midnight, my homework will be complete. “By midnight, I WILL HAVE FINISHED my homework”.

We can use the future perfect in the continuous form as well. We could say: “By midnight, I WILL HAVE BEEN STUDYING for hours”. This is a great way to show the continuous action of studying and also to emphasise how much I have been working.

To make the future perfect simple, just use WILL with the auxiliary verb HAVE and the past participle, in this case FINISHED. To make the future perfect continuous, just use WILL with the auxiliary verb HAVE and then BEEN with the present participle of the main verb, in this case STUDYING.

By next month, you WILL HAVE LEARNT a lot more English if you go to ANGLOPOD.COM. Good luck and see you soon!
