Answers
Answer:
Introduction:
Any action or an event that will have occured or been completed at some point in future, telling us that the events will already have happened before another completed action or at a certain time in future, is expressed in the future perfect tense.
Here we have to understand the two aspects
The action contains a sense of completion.
Indicates the time of completion of action in future. The action will be completed in the future?
The future perfect tense form of a verb has two parts:
The future tense form of ‘to be’ – known as helping verb or auxillary verb – will/shall
Past participle form of the main verb.
The structure of the sentence:
Affirmative sentences:-
Subject + helping verb + main verb + specific time
Example 1: Sneha will have finished her work by tomorrow morning.
Subject+ will have + main verb (in past participle form) + completion of another action
Example 2: Anu will have published ten papers by the time she finishes her Ph.D.
Interrogative sentences:-
Helping verb + subject + main verb in the past participle form + specific time in future
Example 1: Will Sneha have finished her work by tomorrow morning?
Will + subject + have + past participle form of main verb + another action in future
Example 2: Will Anu have published ten papers by the time she finishes her Ph.D.?
Negative sentences:-
Subject + helping verb + NOT – main verb in past participle form + specific time of completion
Example 1: Sneha will not have finished her work by tomorrow morning.
Subject + will NOT have + participle form of main verb + another event in further future.
Example 2: Anu will NOT have published ten papers by the time she finishes her Ph.D.
