hi everybody my name is Alisha 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 these 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 will 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 half 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 + subject + half but to
make the progressive form we need to use
have bin 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 8:00 p.m. by 8:00 p.m. 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
8:00 p.m. so perhaps this is a dinner
invitation for example will you have
eaten by 8:00 p.m. 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 bin 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
a 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 p.m. let's
imagine it's an office let's meet at 6
p.m. 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 6 o'clock meeting
let's meet at 6 p.m.
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 p.m. 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
asked 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 if you have any questions or
comments or want to practice making some
