THE FUTURE PERFECT

THE FUTURE PERFECT

We sometimes use the future perfect instead of other future forms to explain that an action will be complete before a particular time. I’m going to fix my bicycle on Saturday. (… so we can’t go cycling on Friday) I will have fixed my bicycle by Saturday. (… so let’s go cycling on Saturday).

Use of SHOULD and MIGHT in the Future Perfect

We can also use should or might instead of will to show less certainty. I should have arrived before the concert starts, but I’ll let you know if anything changes

Future Perfect Practice

Complete the sentences with the future perfect form of the verbs in brackets.

e.g They will have read_____(read) the report by Monday, so we can discuss it then.
