This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community is practicing the future perfect tense!
The future perfect tense is used to talk about things that will have happened or been completed by some point in the future. If we want to discuss our future plans or the developments around the world, the future perfect is a really useful piece of grammar.
Hopefully this week’s conversation club will give you the opportunity to perfect this grammar!
Here are 10 conversation questions to help you get started with the future perfect!
The Thinking in English Conversation Club takes place every TUESDAY at 12pm, 6pm, and 9pm, and THURSDAY at 12pm and 6pm UK time!
You can find more details on how to participate here Patreon!
Future Perfect Grammar
The Future Perfect tense is used to describe actions that will be completed before a specific point in the future. It is formed with “will have” + the past participle of the verb.
Example:
- By next year, I will have finished my project.
It shows that the action will be completed before a future time.
