The Future Perfect

¡Hola alumnos! Espero que estén bien.  Aquí está una lección sobre el uso del futuro perfecto, un tiempo verbal complejo que significa en inglés "will have done something".  

The future perfect is used to tell a listener that by the time something has been done, something else will already have occurred.  Let's see what we mean by that.  It's already assumed that you know how to create the future tense of a verb (in this case, and since it's a complex perfect form, the auxiliary verb haber).  Let's accompany these example verb phrases with hacer (to do, to make).  

yo habré hecho  I will have done / I will have made

tú habrás hecho  you will have done / you will have made

él/ella/Ud. habrá hecho  he/she/you(formal) will have done / will have made 

nosotros/-as habremos hecho  we will have done / will have made

vosotros/-as habréis hecho  you(informal, plural) will have done / will have made

ellos/ellas/Uds. habrán hecho  they, you will have done / will have made 

So now that you know how these complex verb phrases are implemented, let's look at some examples.  

Para el año 2021, me habré graduado desde la Universidad de Toronto.  By the year 2021, I will have graduated from the University of Toronto.  

Cuando llegues a la fiesta, Marisa ya habrá tomado muchas copas de vino.  Whenever you get to the party, Marisa will already have had a lot of glasses of wine.  

En diez años nosotros habremos vendido la casa.  In ten years, we will have sold the house.  

Para las ocho y media de la noche, Rebeca y Agustín se habrán ido.  By 8:30 PM, Rebeca and Agustín will have left.  

You will notice that in the conjugation of haber, only the nosotros form does NOT carry an accent.  This isn't a surprise because it is conjugated in the future form.  

¡Espero que esto ayude!
