What will you have done tomorrow evening? Posted by Adir on Feb 8, 2013 in Spanish Grammar
¡Hola, mi gente! ¿Cómo les va? Espero que estén todos bien.
Today we are going to take a look at the verb tense Futuro Perfecto de Indicativo. Adir, what the heck is that? Acálmate that I’m going to explain.
First of all, it’s a future tense (you probably know that already!). Now, we call it perfect because it is made up of auxiliary verb haber (in the future) and the past participle of the main verb.
Let me make it easier for you:
Yo habré amado = I will have loved
Tú habrás hablado = You will have spoken [singular]
Él habrá hecho = He will have done
Nosotros habremos salido = We will have left
Vosotros habréis llamado = You will have called [plural]
Ellos habrán comido = They will have eaten
Check out the following examples:
Yo habré hablado con él cuando llegues.
I will have spoken with him when you arrive.
¿Ya habrás leído el libro antes de las vacaciones?
Will you have read the book before your vacation?
El alcalde habrá concluído la construcción de autopistas cuando cese su mandato.
The mayor will have finished the construction of highways when his term of office ends.
Cuando mi equipo venza, nosotros ya habremos elegido adónde ir a celebrar.
When my team wins, we will already have chosen where to go celebrate.
Para los próximos exámanes de Matemáticas, vosotros ya habréis entendido las ecuaciones de según grado.
For the next Math exams, you [plural] will already have understood the quadratic equations.
Para mediados del mes que viene, los diputados habrán aprobado la nueva ley.
