Topic: Future perfect tense


  
  ENGLISH PAGE - Future Perfect
Future Perfect has two different forms: "will have done" and "be going to have done." Unlike Simple Future forms, Future Perfect forms are usually interchangeable.
This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses.
Like all future forms, the Future Perfect cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Future Perfect, Present Perfect is used.

  Future tense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, a future tense is a verb form that marks the event described by a verb as not having happened yet, but expected to in the future.
In English, as in most Germanic languages, there is no future tense in the sense of a specific inflection that marks a verb for futurity after the fashion of the markers that appear in the preterite forms of the past tense.
Rather, the future tense is marked by the use of a number of auxiliary verbs.
