FUTURE
PERFECT
TENSE
INTRODUCTION
The Future Perfect tense is quite an easy
tense to understand and use. The Future
Perfect talks about the "past in the future".
It expresses the idea that something will
occur before another action in future.
It can also show that something will happen
before a specific time in future.
HOW DO WE MAKE THE FUTURE PERFECT
TENSE?
The structure of the Future Perfect tense is:
The first auxiliary verb (will) is invariable: will
The second auxiliary verb (have) is invariable in base
form: have
The main verb is invariable in past participle form: -
ed (or irregular)
For negative sentences we insert not after the first
auxiliary verb.
For question sentences, we exchange the subject
and the first auxiliary verb.
subject+Auxillary will+Auxillary have+ Main verb
will have Past participle
EXAMPLES: POSITIVE

ROLE-PLAY
Instructions for Students
You will be divided into pairs in breakout rooms.
With your partner, imagine you are colleagues in a professional setting
(for example: in an office, a hospital, a school, or a company meeting).
Your task is to create a short role play conversation (6–8 lines) where
you talk about what tasks or goals you will have completed by a specific
future deadline.
Make sure you use the Future Perfect tense (e.g., “I will have finished
the report by Friday”).
Use the chat box in your breakout room to write down notes or key
phrases that you and your partner will use.
After 7–10 minutes, we will return to the main room. Be ready to perform
your role play for the class.
