Sorry I'm late there was a big parade in town earlier and I didn't see it coming!
Anyway welcome I am mystical Martin and I will predict your future for the small sum of fifty
dollars! Oh it said forty dollars on the website. I can sense that you will be a difficult read,
I must use all the strength I have. Okay sounds fair. Shall we begin?
Sure. Oh good heavens I can see ten years into your future,
oh good heavens your baking and painting business is going to collapse! But I don't have a baking
or painting business! By 2032 you will have had a baking and painting business for five years!
But I don't bake or paint! By 2032 you will have been painting and baking for six years! So
in four years from now I start baking and painting? Correct. But I'm allergic to flour.
I see something else in your future!
What is it? By 2032 you still won't have found a husband.
But I have a husband now. Oh, him, oh right yeah he's um he's gonna he's gonna leave you.
When? Oh, somewhere between next week and 2025 give or take a few weeks. What else do you see?
Well by the time your husband leaves you your relationship will have reached its worst point
and your husband will have been cheating on you for six months. So if he does leave me next week
that means he's been cheating on me for nearly six months now? Hey I don't have all the answers.
Do you see anything else? Ah yes,
there is one more thing! By 2035 you finally will have learned how to drive! But I drove here.
50 dollars please.

Good morning. good afternoon and good evening! My name is Laura. And I'm Bez.
And we know that the future perfect tense is really really difficult! We're gonna teach you
how to use it and how not to use it. So let's get started! Let's start with how to make
the future perfect tense, if you want to make the future perfect tense, this is what you need:
subject plus will have or won't have plus past participle. Hey guys don't worry,
verbs have three forms: normal, past tense and past participle. The past participle is the one
that we use with the perfect tenses, they're a little bit weird but don't tell them that!
Okay so now you know how to make the future perfect tense but why on earth would we use it?
Let's talk about it. So we use the future perfect tense to talk about actions that will be completed
before another point in the future. So if you are really confident with the present perfect tense
this tense should be quite easy for you, if you're not familiar with the present perfect
tense I'll leave the link for our video about it down below. So I want you to imagine a timeline:
hello I'm in the middle of the timeline, lovely. So where I am standing is the present day,
present, now, right now. Over here is my future and over here is my past, so if we were talking
about the present perfect tense we would be talking about things that started in the past
but continue up to now so we might say something like I have taught for eight years,
but when we talk about the future perfect tense we are talking about two events in the future:
one two. The one furthest away, we don't use the future perfect for it, the one nearest to me,
we use the future perfect. L3t me give you an example, on Monday I will have been a teacher
for nine years, wow. Hopefully when I see you next week, Adam will have proposed to you! Ah! So can
you see we're using that future perfect tense to talk about things that will have happened before a
deadline in the future? So in a way, imagine that you are sitting on your timeline in the future,
you are sat there, you are sat at a deadline in the future and you are looking back at something
that's happened before and you are treating it like you would treat the present perfect tense, so
next week I'm here, I look back, oh Adam has proposed to me, that's lovely, but all we're
doing is we are predicting that situation from right now. Oh by next week Adam will
have proposed to you, that's so exciting! We use the future perfect to make the sequence of events
clear, you know, if you don't want to use a word like before or anything like that, we can just
use the future perfect so that it's obvious what will happen first, or what we can predict what
will happen first before another event. Okay so we know when to use it but let's talk about when
not to use it, so in the future perfect tense there always needs to be a deadline even if
it's very very vague, if we don't have a deadline, just use the simple future tense,
so for example I would never just say this on its own, I will have worked here for 10 years yeah.
So remember we need to use a deadline. Now let's learn about how to make the future perfect tense
negative, it's pretty easy just put the word not between the word will and have or let's be crazy
here let's change it to won't! d=Don't pick me up at four, I won't have finished work by then! Okay
now I have made a quiz based on the most common mistakes I hear my students making with the future
perfect tense, actually a lot of my students are kind of scared to use the future perfect
tense because it kind of melts their brain, so I have made some questions based on the little
sketch you saw at the beginning of the video, so don't cheat, don't rewind back to the video,
don't do it. Test your knowledge and see how well you do. Okay first question, can you tell me the
mistake in the sentence I'm about to say: You will have had a painting and baking business for five
years! What's the mistake? Is there a mistake? What's missing? I'll give you five seconds...
The deadline! Okay, we're missing the furthest away point on the timeline,
you will have had a painting and baking business for five years... but by when? But what's the
furthest point on the end? By 2032- that is the furthest away point that we're talking about,
that's our deadline, that's our focus point, in 2032 I can look back and say oh
I've had a painting and baking business for five years, present perfect, but we're predicting
that from now okay? The deadline was missing. Okay next question, how do I turn this sentence
into a negative sentence: by 2032 you will have found a husband. How do I make that negative?
Here's the answer: by 2032 you won't have found a husband. That's the most common way, won't,
but we could also say by 2032 you will not have found a husband. And final question, which one of
these sentences sounds more correct? By the time your husband leaves you he will have been cheating
on you for six months or by the time your husband leaves you he will have cheated on you for six
months. Now the answer could be both but in this situation the continuous form feels more correct
because if you think about the action of cheating, it's an ongoing thing, he doesn't just do it once,
he continues to cheat, it's a continual action, so like with other continuous tenses if it's
something that continues and goes on and on up to a point, use the continuous. So here's
my challenge for you I want you to go back and watch the conversation between the fortune teller
and the customer, get a piece of paper or get your iPad or something and I want you to draw a
timeline of the customer's life, so draw a little line and say okay here is where she is right now
and then map her future, okay? And see if you can put all of the different things
that he says is going to happen in the right place, make a little timeline of her life,
you should be able to work it out based on when he uses the future perfect and what years he uses,
oh in six years time this will happen, by 2032, see if you can make a timeline and that will be
a nice way for you to visualize why we use the future perfect tense. Thank you so so much for
