Future Perfect Tense (with Examples)

The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will have been completed at
some point in the future. It is often used with a time expression which identifies that
point in the future.

Examples of the Future Perfect Tense

Here are some examples of the future perfect tense (shaded):

 By the time you arrive, we will have finished the meal and the speeches.
(Note: "By the time you arrive" identifies the point in the future.)

 I will have read every magazine in the waiting room before I see the dentist.
(Note: The clause "before I see the dentist" identifies the point in the future.)
Of course, you can also have the negative version, which is formed "will not have" +

 By the time you arrive, we will not have finished the meal and the speeches.

 I will not have read every magazine in the waiting room before I see the dentist.
And, the question versions:

Forming the Past Participle (Regular Verbs)
If it's a regular verb, the past participle is the same as the simple past tense. In other words, it is formed
like this:
Add ed to most verbs:
 jump > jumped
 paint > painted
If a verb of one syllable ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], double the final consonant and add ed:
 chat > chatted
 stop > stopped
If the final consonant is w, x or y, don't double it:
 sew > sewed
 play > played
 fix > fixed
If last syllable of a longer verb is stressed and ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], double the last
consonant and add ed:
 incur > incurred
 prefer > preferred
If the first syllable of a longer verb is stressed and the verb ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], just
add ed:
 open > opened
 enter > entered
 swallow > swallowed
If the verb ends e, just add d:
 thrive > thrived
 guzzle > guzzled
If the verb ends [consonant + y], change the y to an i and add ed:
 cry > cried
 fry > fried
Forming the Past Participle (Irregular Verbs)
If it's an irregular verb, the past participle is formed in all sorts of different ways. Here are some
examples:

Use
In British English, the use of Simple Past and Present Perfect is quite strict. As soon as a time expression
in the past is given, you have to use Simple Past. If there are no signal words, you must decide if we just
talk about an action in the past or if its consequence in the present is important.
Note that the following explanations and exercises refer to British English only. In American English, you
can normally use Simple Past instead of Present Perfect. We cannot accept this in our exercises,
however, as this would lead to confusions amongst those who have to learn the differences.
Certain time in the past or just / already / yet?
Do you want to express that an action happened at a certain time in the past (even if it was just a few
seconds ago) or that an action hasjust / already / not yet happened?
Simple Past Present Perfect Simple
certain time in the past just / already / not yet
Example: Example:
I phoned Mary 2 minutes ago. I have just phoned Mary.
Certain event in the past or how often so far?
Do you want to express when a certain action took place or whether / how often an action has
happened till now?
Simple Past Present Perfect Simple
certain event in the past whether / how often till now
Example: Example:
He went to Canada last summer. Have you ever been to Canada? / I have been to Canada
twice.
Emphasis on action or result?
Do you just want to express what happened in the past? Or do you want to emphasise the result (a past
action's consequence in the present)?
Simple Past Present Perfect Simple
Emphasis on action Emphasis on result
Example: Example:
I bought a new bike. (just telling what I I have bought a new bike. (With this sentence I actually want to
did in the past.) express that I have a new bike now.)
Signal Words

Gunakan
Dalam bahasa Inggris British, penggunaan Simple Past dan Present Perfect cukup ketat. Begitu ekspresi
waktu di masa lalu diberikan, Anda harus menggunakan Simple Past. Jika tidak ada kata-kata sinyal,
Anda harus memutuskan apakah kita hanya berbicara tentang tindakan di masa lalu atau jika
konsekuensinya di masa sekarang adalah penting.

Perhatikan bahwa penjelasan dan latihan berikut mengacu ke British bahasa Inggris. Dalam bahasa
Inggris Amerika, Anda biasanya dapat menggunakan Simple Past bukan Present Perfect. Kami tidak bisa
menerima ini dalam latihan kami, namun, karena hal ini akan menyebabkan kebingungan di antara
mereka yang harus belajar perbedaan.

Waktu tertentu di masa lalu atau hanya / sudah / belum?

Apakah Anda ingin mengungkapkan bahwa suatu tindakan terjadi pada waktu tertentu di masa lalu
(bahkan jika itu hanya beberapa detik yang lalu) atau bahwa suatu tindakan baru saja / sudah / belum
