The future perfect tense is only used in a few situations, but it’s still good to know it. The future perfect is composed of two elements

The simple future of the verb “to have” (will have) + the past participle of the main verb

 

Subject       +            will have      +      past participle of the main verb

He                               will have                            finished.

I                                   will have                            finished.

 

FUNCTION

The future perfect tense refers to a completed action in the future. When we use this tense we are projecting ourselves forward into the future and looking back at an action that will be completed sometime later than now. It is most often used with a time expression.
