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
