hi everybody my name is Alisha in this

lesson I’m going to talk about the

future perfect tense for statements I’m

not going to talk about making questions

but just simple positive and negative

statements with this grammar point so

let’s get started alright let’s begin

with the use of the future perfect tense

why do we use this grammar point we use

future perfect tense to refer to actions

that will or will not be finished at a

specific point in the future so a key

for this grammar point is we need a

deadline we need some point in the

future for an action to be finished or

not finished so again on this sort of

like image than the sort of timeline if

we’re speaking now in the present about

a specific point in the future this

could be like tomorrow it could be 8

o’clock it could be next year if we’re

talking about some point in the future

we want to refer to an action that will

at that point in time in the future be

finished or by that point in time will

not be finished so when we make future

perfect tense sentences as I’ve started

doing we use will or will not so when we

make a positive statement with this

grammar point we use will plus half plus

the past participle form of the verb

I’ll show some examples in just a moment

so we’ll have plus past participle when

we make the negative form of this

grammar point we use will not or we

reduce it we contract it to won’t plus

have and the past participle so we use

these just to make simple statements

this is the pattern for statements only

so let’s look at how we can use these in

some example sentences

let’s look at this first one I will have

something my new job by this time next

year so by shows us our deadlines so in

this case by this time next year this is

our point in the future so at this time

the following year this thing we see

will have something my new job here the

verb is start the past participle form

of the verb start is started so the

sentence is I will have started my new

job by this time next year so meaning at

this time next year at this point in the

year next year my new job will have

started so that means some time before

this point in time I’m going to start my

job and that means at this point in time

the action will be complete I’ll be done

so the starting action this start action

will have begun somewhere before that

and like I’ll be working maybe so by

this time next year I will have started

my new job okay let’s look at another

example here she’ll I’ve used she’ll

here this is she will so again very

common to contract to reduce will in

these cases she’ll have something her

homework by 8 so in this case we have a

time which marks our deadline by 8 so

our specific point in the future is 8

maybe 8:00 p.m. 8:00 at night she will

have she’ll have the verb is finish the

past participle form of the verb is

finished she’ll have finished her

homework by 8:00 so that means by this

deadline of 8 o’clock

her homework will be done so that means

before 8 o’clock in this period before 8

o’clock somewhere in here she’ll make

the last steps on her homework so by

this time everything will be done

everything will be finished by here

okay so that could mean she finishes

before 8:00 it just means eight o’clock

as the deadline by that time everything

will be finished okay let’s go to

another example sentence here we see the

deadline at the beginning of the

sentence by 10:00 p.m. we’ll have

something dinner already here the verb

is eat so the past participle form of

the verb eat is eaten eaten by 10 p.m.

will have eaten dinner already

so this means by 10 p.m. we will have

finished eating dinner so already shows

us that an expected action is finished

so it’s finished before the time period

indicated or finished before the point

in time indicated something is done so

by 10:00 p.m. we’ll have eaten dinner

already

means sometime before 10 p.m.

we ate dinner so by this time we will be

finished in other words we will have

eaten dinner somewhere before that time

okay let’s go on to the next one the

verb here is arrived here we have a

negative though so I’ve given a very

open sentence here they won’t have

something something yet we could add a

deadline here for example by I don’t

know by 9 a.m. they won’t have plus our

past participle form arrived yet mmm

by 9 a.m. they won’t have arrived yet so

here we see an action that will not be

complete by our deadline so by 9 a.m. in

this case by 9 a.m. some people we are

expecting to come they will not be here

they won’t have arrived it that means

probably some point in the future

they’re going to arrive but by this

deadline by this point in time they will

not have arrived so in

period before 9:00 a.m. they will not

have arrived so that means that probably

in the future sometime in the future

they’ll arrive so here some a couple

hints here we have the negative they

won’t have arrived yet

reminder yet shows us expectations so

we’re expecting someone to arrive in

this case we’re expecting people to come

we’re expecting people to arrive

somewhere but by this time it will not

have happened it will not have happened

okay let’s move along to the next

example again a negative he won’t have

something the paperwork by tomorrow our

verb is check the past participle form

of check is checked he won’t have

checked the paperwork by tomorrow so

deadline is tomorrow by tomorrow he

won’t have checked the paperwork so

between now present tense and this point

tomorrow by tomorrow the paperwork

checking will not be completed it won’t

be done so maybe in the future here he

won’t have checked the paperwork by

tomorrow shows in this time period the

action will not be completed ok one more

example I won’t have something the house

yet I won’t have something the house yet

so again here I didn’t really include a

specific deadline it’s just kind of an

open expression let’s add one here so by

I don’t know 9:00 a.m. again by 9:00

a.m. I won’t have something so here my

verb is leave leave the past participle

of leave is left I won’t have left the

house yet I won’t have left the house

yet

so again deadline by 9:00 a.m. I won’t

have left the house yet by this point in

time I will still be in my house in

other words so I’m expecting again we

see yet here I’m expecting to leave the

house but by 9:00 a.m. by this point I

will not have left the house means I

will still be inside my house I will

leave me

after 9:00 a.m. so keep in mind with

this grammar point there’s typically a

deadline that’s clear though in some of

these cases I didn’t write the clear

deadline because when you’re like using

this grammar point in speech sometimes

from the conversation you understand the

deadline and so we drop it in

conversation so if speaker a is talking

about 9:00 a.m. as a deadline speaker B

doesn’t necessarily have to say the

deadline again oftentimes speaker B in

this case drops the deadline and just

gives an open statement like this they

won’t have arrived yet or I won’t have

left the house yet so you don’t have to

include your deadline in your statement

if it’s understood if everyone in the

conversation understands the deadline

it’s quite common to drop it but for

this lesson I included a deadline I just

wanted to point out that sometimes we do

omit to this portion okay

so that’s a quick introduction to the

future perfect tense and making

statements with future perfect tense I

hope that it was useful for you if you

have any questions or comments or if you

want to practice making a sentence with

this grammar point please feel free to
