hi everybody my name is alicia in this
lesson we're going to talk about how to
make questions using the future perfect
tense i'll review how to make questions
with the simple future perfect and with
the progressive or the continuous
version
so i'll introduce how to make it when we
use it and a few example sentences let's
get started
i want to begin then with a quick review
of future perfect tense and when to use
it you might have seen the video about
the future perfect tense or the future
perfect progressive tense this is the
same as that to review though for this
lesson we use the future perfect tense
to refer to actions that will
or that won't will not
be finished at a specific time in the
future so this is very specific to the
simple future perfect tense
to give a visual representation
if we're talking in our conversation in
the present here now there's some point
in the future like tomorrow or 8 p.m or
monday for example
so
by this point in time
something some action will
or will not be finished by this point in
time so i've marked this with a star and
a question so we maybe we will maybe we
won't
we're using questions for this lesson so
i've used a question mark for this
so this is for the simple the simple
future perfect
for progressive however which we'll also
review quickly today
for progressive this is for actions that
will be continuing at a specific point
in the future so this is one difference
between the simple form and the
progressive form with the simple form
the action either will or will not be
finished with progressive form the
action will or will not be continuing so
let's take a look now at how to make
future perfect questions
let's begin with the simple version
future perfect simple questions to make
a basic future perfect simple tense
question we begin with will then we add
our subject like i he she for example
we follow with have
then we use the past participle form of
the verb and any additional information
this is where we include our deadline or
our cutoff point i'll share some
examples of this in just a second
if however we want to make a future
perfect progressive question
we can use a very similar pattern
we begin again with will
plus subject plus have
but to make the progressive form we need
to use have been and instead of the past
participle form of the verb we use the
progressive or the continuous form of
the verb the ing form of a verb
as we did with the simple future tense
simple future perfect rather
we then include any additional
information this is where we include our
deadline or our cutoff point our future
reference point that comes at the end of
the sentence the end of the question
if you want to make a negative we simply
replace
won't
for will so instead of using will at the
beginning of the sentence we use won't
this tends to be used when we're
confirming something i'll show you an
example of this at the end of the lesson
but we use this won't when we're asking
about something we thought was true
and we want to confirm that with another
person it's kind of a specific case so
again i'll show you an example
for now though let's practice making a
few basic sentences with these patterns
all right over here i want to use the
verb finish for this sentence
will he have
something
his report by monday so we see that
monday is our future point here we also
see we have will
he
have there's no bin here
this tells us that it is a future
perfect simple tense sentence so we need
to use the past participle form of the
verb
will he have finished
his report by monday means by this point
in time in the future monday
will the report be finished will it not
be finished that's the question so we'll
say either yes his report will be
finished by monday or no his report will
not be finished by monday so will he
have finished his report by monday he
will have or he won't have okay let's
move along
will you have something
by 8 pm by 8 pm
so the verb i want to use here is eat
again
we have will you have there's no bin
here so that's a good hint that we
should use the past participle form of
the verb eat so the past participle form
of eat is eaten will you have eaten
by
8 pm
so perhaps this is a dinner invitation
for example will you have eaten by 8 pm
the answer to this might be no we won't
have eaten or no i won't have eaten
because i'm working or yes i'll have
eaten already for example so we can use
the future perfect tense to reply to
this question as well yes i will have
eaten no i won't have eaten yet for
example you can mix yet and already into
your answers okay let's continue along
to the next example
will we have been something
on this project for a month
as of tomorrow
so here we do see been
will we have been this is a big hint
that we should use the progressive or
the continuous form of the verb
our verb here is work so the progressive
form is working
will we have been working
on this project for a month
as of tomorrow as of tomorrow means
tomorrow is kind of our like landmark
point
so
at this point in time at this specific
point in time tomorrow
will we have been continuously working
on this project for a one month period
so in other words we began working on
the project one month ago one month in
the past we've been working
continuously
and we're still working on the project
so this is a confirmation question will
we have been working on this project for
a month as of tomorrow
you could say yes we will have been
working for a month or no we won't have
been working for a month yet something
like that could be the reply so this is
probably a confirmation question about
how long a project has been in progress
i want to finish though with an example
of this won't that i mentioned earlier i
made a conversation actually so let's
take a look
a says let's meet at 6 pm let's imagine
it's an office let's meet at 6 pm
b says
won't you have left the office by then
you have a dinner meeting
a says oh right
so this is a very common example of when
we might use this
won't
pattern so like i said it's used to
confirm
a perhaps forgets his or her schedule
and therefore suggests a six o'clock
meeting let's meet at 6 pm
b however remembers the schedule and b
asks this question to confirm
the future plan well won't you have left
the office by 6 pm so at this point in
time you will be gone so you will have
left the office at some point before
this right
using this won't you sounds like it's a
confirmation isn't that right
because you have a dinner meeting
a then remembers oh right
so this is a very common way we might
use this but as you can see it's kind of
a specific situation where some person
forgets a future schedule or a future
planned action another person in the
situation remembers it though and they
ask to confirm so you might see it used
in something like this however we tend
to use this more in the positive to ask
positive questions about the future
about future activities so i hope that
that helps you make questions with the
future perfect tense and with the future
perfect progressive tense not just
simple
