INTRODUCTION

A. Background
English is the international language. By mastering English well, then we
will be able to communicate with other nations in this world. In addition, we will
be able to increase our insight and knowledge. However, speaking English is not
as easy as turning the palm of the hand because there are many structures in the
English learning system such as grammar, tenses, etc. Not many people who learn
English understand and know correctly what tenses are, the kinds etc.
In this paper we will discuss several tenses, namely "Future Tense" to
deepen our knowledge of tenses and their explanations.

B. Problem Formulation
The formulation of the problem that we found in making this paper are:
1. What is Past Tense
2. When is the past tense used?
3. What is the formula/rules for making Past Tense sentences?

C. Purpose
1. To know the Past Tense.
2. To find out the Past Tense is used.
3. To find out how the formula/rules make past tense sentences
 CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

A. Simple Future Tense

Subject + will + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + [(is/am/are/) going to] + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + (is/am/are/) + (verb1+ing)+ object + modifier

Notes:
1. In American English, the auxiliary shall (i.e. its cousin will) is rarely used.
Therefore, this article does not discuss the use of shall.
2. This third pattern is the same as the Present continuous tense. Its use is
specifically to express activities that are planned to be carried out. (See the
second use of the simple future tense).
Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali will grow rice crops next month. (Farmers in Jati Bali will
plant rice next month).
2. Some students are going to conduct research on vegetative plant propagations
next semester. (Some students will be doing research on vegetative plant
propagation next semester).
3. Transpiration will start to increase tomorrow morning. (Transpiration will start
increasing tomorrow morning).
Use of Simple Future Tense Simple Future Tense is used to express
events/activities that will occur/do in the future, whether 10 minutes or 1 hour in
the future, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, next month, next year,
and so on. If the past tense states events / activities after now (past time), the
simple future tense states events / activities before now (future time). The
following are 5 categories of using the Simple Future Tense, namely:
1. To express events/activities that are predicted to occur/performed. Example: a.
According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (According to the
 weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow). b. None of us have done the
homework the teacher told us to do. He will be very disappointed when he
finds out. c. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o'clock tonight. I think
Jeny, Ronny's girlfriend, will come too. d. I will probably see Janet at the
cafeteria at lunch e. The damage we do to our forest today will result in severe
catastrophes sooner or later in the future. The five example sentences above
can also be expressed in the second pattern as:
1) According to the weather forecast, it is going to rain tomorrow.
(According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow).
2) None of us did the homework the teacher had told us to do. He is going to
be very disappointed when he finds out.
3) Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o'clock tonight. I think Jeny,
Ronny's girlfriend, is going to come too.
4) I am probably going to see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch.
5) The damage we do to our forest today is going to result in severe
catastrophes sooner or later in the future.

2. To state events/activities that are planned to occur/to be carried out. If the

activity to be carried out has been planned / intended in advance, use the
second or third pattern.
Example:
a. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o'clock tonight.
b. He has an appointment. He is going to meet his business partner at noon.
c. I am going to go to the shopping mall. Do you want to go with me?
d. The next world cup championship is going to be held in South Africa in
2010.
e. He is going to leave for Bali tomorrow morning. The five example
sentences above can also be expressed with the third pattern being:
1) Ronny is coming to my house at 7 o'clock tonight.
2) He has an appointment. He is meeting his business partner at noon.
3) I am going to the shopping mall Do you want to go with me?
 4) The next world cup championship is being held in South Africa in
2010. 5) He is leaving for Bali tomorrow morning.
3. To express willingness/ability to do something. For this category, use the first
pattern.
a. Why don't you ask John? He will happily help you do your homework.
b. She will voluntarily teach us how to write in English well.
c. Let's go to the canteen. I will treat you. (I will treat you).
d. You look thirsty. I will get a glass of water for you.
e. I will open the door for you.
4. To make a hypothetical conditional main clause; That is, what will happen to
the main clause, depends on what happens to the sub-clause of the conditional
sentence.
Example:
a. If she comes tonight, I will not go out. (If he comes tonight, I will not
leave the house). On the other hand, if he doesn't come, I will leave the
house.
b. If you study hard, your English will steadily improve. (If you study hard,
your English will continue to improve).
c. If we succeed, our parents will be very proud of us. (If we are successful,
our parents will be very proud of us).
d. If you apply fertilizers optimally, the crop yields will increase. (If you
apply fertilizer optimally, crop yields will increase).
e. If pests are controlled properly, there will be no failure in crop production.
(If pests are controlled properly, there will be no failure in crop
production).
5. To make requests and commands more formal or polite.
Example:
a. Will you take care of my plants while I am gone, please! (Please take care of
my plants while I'm away!).
 b. Will you return my book tomorrow, please! I need to study it for the exam.
(Please return my book tomorrow. I need to study for (prepare for) the
exam).
c. Will you give me some sugar, please! (Please give me some sugar).
d. Will you pick up the phone, please! (Please pick up the phone).
e. Will you go out with me tonight, please! (Go on a date with me tonight).
Note: Simple present tense can also be used to express future time,
specifically for scheduled events/activities.

B. Future Continuous (Progressive) Tense

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali will be growing rice crops at 9 a.m. tomorrow. (Farmers
in Jati Bali will be planting rice at 9 am tomorrow).
2. Some students are going to be conducting research on vegetative plant
propagations when I go to the agronomy laboratory next week. (Several
students will be doing research on vegetative plant propagation when I go to
the agronmy lab in the next two days).
3. Transpiration will be starting to increase at 8 a.m. tomorrow. (Transpiration
will be starting to increase at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning).  Use of Future
Continuous Tense The use of the future continuous tense is in principle the
same as the past continuous tense. The difference is that if the past continuous
tense states an ongoing event/activity in the past, the future continuous tense
states an ongoing event/activity in the future. The speaker knows that an
event/activity will take place because the event/activity has been planned (not
because of prediction) or because it is a regular happening/habitual action. To
better understand the difference between these two tenses, this paper is written
using the concepts and examples of the past continuous tense. And of course,
the adverb of time has been shifted from past time to future time.  Future
Continuous Tense is used To express an event/activity that will be happening
at a specific time in the future. The time specification is usually expressed in
hours (i.e. what time the event took place). As an illustration, consider the
example sentence 1 below. As a mother, I know my daughter's routine. 3 -5
hours studying or doing homework, 8-9 hours watching TV, 9-11 studying
again. Because I already know exactly what my daughter's routine is, I dare
say that at 8.30, she will be watching TV. The same logic applies to example
sentences 2 – 8. Example: a. My daughter will be watching TV at eight thirty
tonight. (My daughter will be watching TV at 8.30 tonight). b. She will be
copying the materials at 10 o'clock this morning. (He will be photocopying
materials at 10 this morning). Assuming, it's not yet 10 in the morning. c. I
will be discussing English with my classmates at 2 p.m. next Friday. (I will be
discussing English with my classmates at 2 pm next Friday). d. I will be busy
at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. (I will be busy at 8am tomorrow). e. They will
be very happy at 9 o'clock next Saturday night. (They will be very happy at
9pm next week). Assuming, they just invented (dating). f. This time next year,
she will be studying Economics at the University of Toronto. g. They will be
taking an English exam at 10 a.m. tomorrow. (They will be taking their
English exam at 10 tomorrow morning). h. We will be watching a football
game at 11 p.m. tonight. (We will be watching a football game at 11 o'clock
tonight). 2. To express an event/activity that is happening/going on in the
future, which is interrupted by another event. In this case, the formula is as
follows: Note: The interrupting event/activity is stated in the simple present
tense and functions as an adverb of time; Insert a comma, if it precedes the
future continuous. The comma is not required if it is placed after the future
continuous. Example: a. When I arrive home, my daughter will be watching
TV. (When I get home, my daughter will be watching TV). My daughter has a
habit of watching TV. b. When I call him tonight, he will be playing card with
his friends. (When I called him tonight, he was playing cards with his friends).
He has a habit of playing cards with his friends every night. c. I will be
waiting for you outside the class when you finish your exam. (I will be
waiting outside the classroom when you finish the exam). d. He will still be
studying at the library tonight, so he will not see his mother when she arrives
home. (He will still be studying in the library tonight, so he won't see his
 mother when she gets home). e. When I go to her house on Saturday night, she
will be being with her boyfriend. (If I went to his house this weekend, he
would be with his girlfriend). REMEMBER: Avoid using the adverb of time
"When + future tense".

3. It is also used to express two events that will occur at the same time in the
future. In this case, use the following formula:
Example:
a. While I am typing another note tonight, my family will be watching TV in the
family room. (While I'm typing another note tonight, my family will be
watching TV in the living room).
b. While the president is giving his speech, the audience will be listening to him
carefully. (While the president is giving a speech, the audience/audience will
be listening intently).
c. Male students will be playing around while the female ones are chatting.
When do they learn?
d. My roommate will be snoring loudly while I am studying. (My roommate
was snoring loudly while I was studying).
e. We will be smoking while others are drinking. (We will be smoking while the
others will be drinking).
f. John will be washing dishes while Jane is making dinner. (John will be
washing the dishes while Jane is cooking dinner).
REMEMBER: Avoid using the adverb of time "While + future continuous tense".
However, if the adverb of time does not use "while", then each clause of the event
that is currently taking place is stated with the future continuous tense.
1) Sorry, we can't practice our band in my house tonight. My dad will be having
his colleagues over and my brother will be studying for his final exam.
(Sorry, we can't practice band at my house tonight. My father will be
entertaining his colleagues at home and my sister will be studying for her
final exams.
2) The party will start at 8 pm. I'll get there around 9. When I get there, Budi and
his band will be performing. Some people will be dancing, some will be
drinking and smoking, and the others will be just talking. (The party will start
at 8 pm. I will be there around 9. When I get there, Budi and his band will be
performing. Some people will be dancing, some will be drinking and
smoking, and others will be just chatting. ).
To state a thing or event that is believed/really will happen soon. Example:
a) I think the sun will be shining soon. (I think the sun will be shining soon).
b) Oh no! The clouds are very dark and thick. It will be raining soon. (Oh no! The
clouds are very dark and thick. It's going to rain soon).

Subject + will + have + verb3 + object + modifier

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali will have grown rice crops by the end of next month.
(Farmers in Jati Bali will have planted rice before the end of next month).
2. Some students will have conducted research on vegetative plant propagation for
one year when the next semester starts next month. (Some students will have been
doing research on vegetative plant propagation for 1 year when the next semester
starts next month).
3. Transpiration will have started to increase before we measure it at 9 a.m.
tomorrow. (Transpiration will have started to increase before we measure it at
9am tomorrow).

 Use of Future Perfect Tense

Pay attention to the pattern and the three examples above! What is the difference
between the future perfect tense and the present perfect tense? Not much
difference, right? The concept of its use is almost the same as the present perfect
tense. However, the deadline for events/activities for this tense is future time,
while the deadline for the present perfect tense is now.
 The use of the future perfect tense, including:
1. To express a prediction that the event/activity will have occurred/has been
completed before or until a certain time limit in the future.
Note: If you use a time clause, state it in the simple present tense. For example:
when the first half is over (in example 2), by the time we get to the airport (in
example 3), etc.

Example:
a. By 3 o'clock this afternoon, I will have finished reading this book. (Before 3pm
this afternoon, I will have finished reading this book).
b. I think Barcelona will have scored three goals when the first half is over. (I
think Barcelona will have scored 3 goals when the first half ended).
c. This traffic is terrible. We're going to be late. By the time we get to the air port,
dad's plane will have already arrived.
d. My dad is in the USA now but he will have been home when my mom gives
birth next month. (Papa is in USA right now but he will be home before Mama
gives birth next month).
e. Joni will arrive home around midnight. By the time he gets home, I will have
already fallen a sleep.
2. To express a prediction that the activity/activity will have occurred/has been
completed before other events/activities in the future. Note: In this category, both
activities are carried out by the same subject.
Example:
a. John will have traveled around the world before he gets married next year.
b. She will have read the entire book before she goes to campus this afternoon.
c. I will have eaten before I go to play badminton tonight.
d. He will have bought a gift before he goes to his girlfriend's birthday party
tonight.
e. He had already got married 5 times before he got married again last week. And,
he is still 25 years old. If he keeps getting married, he will have had more than 50
wives before he dies.
3. To state that the event/activity will continue to occur/done until a certain time
limit in the future.
a. I arrived at school at 7 a.m. When my dad picks me up at 1 p.m., I will have
been at school for 6 hours. (By the time papa picks up one o'clock in the
afternoon, I will have been at school for 6 hours).
b. It's May 20 now. I have lived in this house for nine years or so. On August 17, I
will have lived in this house for 10 years sharp. (I have lived in this house for over
9 years. On August 17th, I will have lived in this house for exactly 10 years)
c. It's 9 p.m. I am going to bed now and get up at 5 a.m. When I get up, I will have
slept for 8 hours.
d. when Mr. Dodi retires next month, he will have worked for this company for
forty-five years. (By the time Mr. Dodi retires next month, he will have worked
for this company for 45 years).
e. It's 7 p.m now. She has been waiting for her boyfriend since an hour ago. He
just called her that he will arrive at 8 p.m. When he arrives, she will have waited
for 2 hours.

D. Future Perfect Continuous Tense

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali will have been growing rice crops for 40 years by the end
of this year. (Farmers in Jati Bali will have been farming rice for 40 years before
this year ends).
2. Some students will have been conducting research on vegetative plant
propagations for one year when the next semester starts next month. (Some
students will have been doing research on vegetative plant propagation for 1 year
when the next semester starts next month).
3. Transpiration will have been starting to increase for more than an hour when
we measure it at 9 a.m. tomorrow. (Transpiration will have started increasing for
over 1 hour when we measure it at 9am tomorrow).
 Use of Future Perfect Continuous Tense
 The use of the future perfect continuous tense is the same as the use of the third
category of future perfect tense, namely: to state that an event/activity will
continue to occur/done until a certain time limit in the future.
Consider the example in the third category of the future perfect tense, as follows:
1. I arrived at school at 7 a.m. When my dad picks me up at 1 p.m., I will have
been at school for 6 hours.
2. I have lived in this house for nine years or so. On August 17, I will have lived
in this house for 10 years sharp.
3. It's 9 p.m. I am going to bed now and get up at 5 a.m. When I get up, I will have
slept for 8 hours.
4. When Mr. Dodi retires next month, he will have worked for this company
forty-five years.
5. It's 7 p.m. now. She has been waiting for her boyfriend since an hour ago. He
just called her that he will arrive at 8 p.m. When he arrives, she will have waited
for 2 hours.
In the future perfect continuous tense, these five sentences become:
1. I arrived at school at 7 a.m. When my dad picks me up at 1 p.m., I will have
been being at school for 6 hours.
2. I have lived in this house for nine years or so. On August 17, I will have been
living in this house for 10 years sharp.
3. It's 9 p.m. I am going to bed now and get up at 5 a.m. When I get up, I will have
been sleeping for 8 hours.
4. When Mr. Dodi retires next month, he will have been working for this company
forty-five years.
5. It's 7 p.m. now. She has been waiting for her boyfriend since an hour ago. He
just called her that he will arrive at 8 p.m. When he arrives, she will have been
waiting for 2 hours.
A. Past Future Tense
Subject + would + verb1+ object + modifier
Subject + [(was/were) going to] + verb1+ object + modifier

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali would grow rice crops last month. (Farmers in Jati Bali will
be planting rice last month).
2. Some students would conduct research on vegetative plant propagations last
semester. (Some students will be doing research on vegetative plant propagation
last semester).
3. Transpiration would start to increase at 8 a.m. this morning. (Transpiration will
start increasing at 8 this morning).
 Use of Past Future Tense
In principle, the past future tense is similar to the simple future tense and the
provisions that apply to the simple future tense generally also apply to the past
future tense. However, because of the passage of time, the simple future tense
shifts from future time to past time to become past future tense. To explain this,
we will use concepts and examples in the future tense.
Past Future Tense, like the simple future tense, can be used in 5 categories,
namely:
1. To restate an event/activity that was predicted to happen/done at a certain time
in the past.
To understand the difference between the past future tense and the simple future
tense, let's look at the examples of sentences given in the following simple future
tense:
a. According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (According to the
weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow).
b. None of us have done the homework the teacher told us to do. He will be very
disappointed when he finds out.
c. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o'clock tonight. I think Jeny, Ronny's
girlfriend, will come too.
d. I will probably see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch.
e. The damage we do to our forest today will result in severe catastrophes sooner
or later in the future.
Look at example 1 above and let's say it's May 2!
• According to the weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow. (According to the
weather forecast, it will rain tomorrow).
In Indonesian, this sentence also means:
• According to the weather forecast, it will rain on May 3rd.
Then, as time moves on, assume it is May 4th. This means that what was
predicted earlier (i.e. it will rain) is already in the past time, namely "yesterday".
So the prediction must be stated in the past future tense to be:
1) According to the weather forecast, it would rain yesterday. Or, According to
the weather forecast, it was going to rain yesterday. And so also with sentences 2-
5 above as time goes by in a row it will become:
2) We thought that he would be very disappointed when we didn't do the
homework two days ago. Or, We thought that he was going to be very
disappointed when we didn't do the homework two days ago.
3) Ronny came to my house at 7 p.m. two days ago. I thought Jeny, Ronny's
girlfriend, would come too but she didn't. Or, I thought Jeny, Ronny's girlfriend,
was going to come too but she didn't.
4) I would probably see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch. Or, I was probably going to
see Janet at the cafeteria at lunch.
5) The damage we do to our forest today will result in severe catastrophes sooner
or later in the future.
Note: If what is predicted at the time of re-disclosure is still in future time, (in the
analogy above, it is still not May 4th), keep using the simple future tense. (See
example 5 above and example 4 below).
2. To restate an event/activity that was planned to happen/done at a certain time in
the past.
By using the analogy in category 1, the following sentences in the simple future
tense:
a. Ronny is going to come to my house at 7 o'clock tonight.
b. He has an appointment. He is going to meet his business partner at noon.
c. I am going to go to the shopping. Do you want to go with me?
d. The next world cup championship is going to be held in South Africa in 2010.
e. He is going to leave for Bali tomorrow morning.
Along with the passage of time, it will be expressed in the past future tense to
become:
1) Ronny was going to come to my house at 7 p.m. two days ago but he couldn't
come because of the pouring rain. Or, Ronny would come to my house at 7 p.m.
two days ago but he couldn't come because of the pouring rain.
2) He was going to meet his business partner at noon two days ago but he
suddenly got sick just half an hour before the meeting. Or, He would meet his
business partner at noon two days ago but he suddenly got sick just half an hour
before the meeting.
3) I was going to go to the shopping mall when I asked whether you wanted to go
with me two days ago. Or, I would go to the shopping mall when I asked whether
you wanted to go with me two days ago.
4) The next world cup championship is going to be held in South Africa in 2010.
This sentence has not changed because the planned activities will still be carried
out next year.
5) He was going to leave for Bali yesterday morning but the flight was cancelled.
Or, He would leave for Bali yesterday morning but the flight was cancelled.
Notes: a). In the past future tense, the first pattern can also be used to express
plans. b). If what is planned is happening / carried out, the meaning has changed
to an event / activity that occurs in the past (past tense) or is ongoing in the past
(past continuous tense), depending on the description of the time.
a) Ronny was being at my house at 7 p.m. two days ago. (Ronny was at my house
at 7 pm 2 days ago).
b) He was meeting his business partner at noon two days ago. (He was in a
meeting with his business partner at 12 noon two days ago).
c) I went to the shopping mall two days ago. (I went to the shopping mall 2 days
ago).
d) He left for Bali yesterday morning. (He left for Bali yesterday morning).
3. To make the main clause unreal conditionals type 1, namely conditionals which
are in fact in simple present tense or simple future tense.
 a. If I were you, I would study harder. (If I were you, I would study harder).
b. The crops would not fail to produce if the rain fell. (Plants will not fail to
produce if it rains).
c. They would not need to lime the soil if it were not acidic. (They won't need to
lime the soil if the soil isn't acidic).
4. To make indirect speech, if the direct sentence uses the simple future tense.
Example:
a. My boyfriend told me that he would marry me. (My boyfriend told me he
would marry me).
b. An agronomist said that the soil would be more productive if we fertilized it.
(An agronomist said that the soil will be more productive if we fertilize it.)
c. Dean made an announcement that the final exams would be started in two
weeks. (The dean announces that the final exams will start in the next two weeks).
5. To make a request or command more formal or polite. Note: would is more
formal/polite than will.
Example:
a. Would you turn down the TV volume, please! It's too loud. (Please turn down
the TV volume. The volume is too loud).
b. I didn't go to school yesterday, so would you please lend me your note? (I didn't
go to school yesterday. Can you lend me your notes please?).
c. If you're free, would you go to see a movie with me tonight? (If you're not busy,
will you watch a movie with me tonight?).

B. Past Future Continuous Tense

Subject + would + be +( verb1+ing) + object + modifier

Subject + [(was/were) going to] + be + (verb1+ing) + object + modifier

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali would be growing rice crops at 9 a.m. yesterday. (Farmers
in Jati Bali will be planting rice at 9 am yesterday).
2. Some students were going to be conducting research on vegetative plant
propagations when I went to the agronomy laboratory last week. (Several students
will be doing research on vegetative plant propagation when I go to the agronmy
lab in the next two days).
3. Transpiration would be starting to increase at 8 a.m. this morning.
(Transpiration will be on the rise at 8 this morning).

 Use of Past Future Continuous Tense

The use of the past future continuous tense is in principle the same as the future
continuous tense. The difference is that if the future continuous tense states an
event/activity that will be taking place in the future, the past future continuous
tense states an event/activity that will be taking place in the past. In other words,
the past future continuous tense is re-expressing a prediction or plan that will be
happening/done, and the prediction/plan has now shifted from future time to past
time.
To better understand the difference between these two tenses, please reuse the
analogy used in the past future tense. This paper is also made using the concepts
and examples of the future continuous tense. Watch and compare the time
difference.
Past Future Continuous Tense is used:
1. To restate an event/activity that is predicted/planned to be happening/done at a
specific time in the past. Note: The time specification is usually stated by stating
the hour (i.e. what time the event/activity is predicted/planned to take
place/performed) and a time clause.
Example:
a. My daughter would be watching TV at eight o'clock last night. (My daughter
will be watching TV at 8 last night).
b. She would be copying the materials at 10 o'clock this morning. (He will be
photocopying materials at 10 this morning). Assuming, it's already past 10 in the
morning.
c. I would be discussing English with my classmates at 2 p.m. last Friday. (I will
be discussing English with my classmates at 2pm last Friday).
d. I would be busy at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. (I will be busy at 8am
yesterday).
e. They would be very happy at 9 o'clock last Saturday night. (They would have
been very happy at 9pm last week).
f. This time last year, she would be studying Economics at the University of
Toronto. (This month last year, he will be studying Economics at the University
of Toronto).
g. They would be taking an English exam at 10 a.m. yesterday. (They will be
taking their English exam at 10am yesterday).
h. We would be watching a football game at 11 p.m. last night. (We will be
watching a football game at 11 o'clock last night).
2. To express an event/activity that is planned to be happening/going on in the
past, which was interrupted by another event. In this case, the formula is as
follows:
When + subject1 + simple past, subject2 + past future continuous

Subject1+ past future continuous + when + subject2 +simple past

Note: Interrupting events/activities are stated in the simple past tense and are
functional
as an adverb of time; Insert a comma, if it is before the past future continuous.
However, a comma is not required if it is placed after the past future continuous.
Example:
a. When I arrived home last night, my daughter would be watching TV. (When I
got home last night, my daughter would be watching TV).
b. When I called him last night, he would be playing card with his friends. (When
I called him last night, he was playing cards with his friends).
c. I would be waiting for you outside the class when you finished your exam. (I
will be waiting outside the classroom when you finish the exam).
d. He would still be studying at the library tonight, so he would not see his mother
when she arrived home. (He will still be studying in the library tonight, so he
won't see his mother when she gets home).
e. When I went to her house on last Saturday night, she would be being with her
boyfriend. (If I went to his house last week night, he would be with his girlfriend).
3. To express two events/activities that are predicted or planned to be
happening/conducted at the same time in the past. In this case, use the following
formula:
While + subject1 + past future continuous, subject2 + past future
continuous
Subject1 + future continuous + while + subject2 + future continuous

Example:
a. While I would be typing another note last night, my family would be watching
TV in the family room. (While I was typing another note last night, my family
would be watching TV in the living room).
b. While the president would be giving his speech last Monday, the audience
would be listening to him carefully. (While the president was giving a speech last
Monday, the audience/audience will be listening intently).
c. Male students would be playing around while the female ones would be
chatting.
d. My roommate would be snoring loudly while I would be studying. (My
roommate was snoring loudly while I was studying).
e. We would be smoking while others would be drinking. (We will be smoking
while the others will be drinking).
f. John would be washing dishes while Jane would be making dinner. (John will
be washing the dishes while Jane will be cooking dinner).
g. My dad would be having his colleagues over while my brother would be
studying for his final exam last Sunday. (My father will be entertaining his
colleagues at home while my sister will be studying for her final exams).
4. To restate a thing or event/activity that is believed/actually will happen in the
past.
 Example:
a. I thought the sun would be shining soon. (I think the sun will be shining soon).
b. Because the clouds were very dark and thick yesterday, we believed it would be
raining soon. (Because the clouds are very dark and thick, we are sure it will rain
soon).
C. Past Future Perfect Tense
Subject + would + have + verb3 + object + modifier

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali would have grown rice crops by the end of last month.
(Farmers in Jati Bali will have planted rice before the end of last month).
2. Some students would have conducted research on vegetative plant propagations
for one year when the semester started last month. (Some students will have been
doing research on vegetative plant propagation for 1 year when the next semester
started last month).
3. Transpiration would have started to increase before we measured it at 9 a.m.
yesterday. (Transpiration would have started to increase before we measured it at
9am yesterday).

 Use of Past Future Perfect Tense

In principle, past future perfect tense is a re-disclosure of events/activities stated
in the future perfect tense, whose time information has shifted from future time to
past time. Because these two tenses are similar, this post uses concepts and
examples of sentences in the future perfect tense. Notice and compare the changes
in the predicate and the adverb of time. Use the analogy of the past future tense if
you are still confused. Are you ready? Let's get started.

 Past Future Perfect Tense is used:

1. To restate an event/activity that has been predicted or planned to have
occurred/has been completed before or up to a certain time limit in the past. Note:
In general, this tense is preceded by a clause which means prediction, expectation
or plan. Verbs used include: think, hope, expect, plan, intend, assume, etc.
Example:
a. I predicted that by 3 p.m. yesterday, I would have finished reading this book. (I
was hoping that before 3pm yesterday, I would have finished reading this book).
b. I thought Barcelona would have scored three goals when the first half was over.
Because its opponent was tough, however, it didn't score even a single goal. (I
thought Barcelona would have scored 3 goals by the time the first half ended. But
because the opponent was tough, Barcelona didn't even score at all).
c. Because of the terrible traffic we knew that dad's plane would have already
arrived by the time we got to the airport yesterday.
d. My dad planned that he would have been home when my mom gave birth last
month. He didn't make it though because he had an immigration documentation
problem.
e. I thought I would have already fallen asleep by the time Joni got home last
night. I don't know why I was still awake when he did.
Note: If in the future perfect tense, the time clause is stated in the simple present
tense, in this tense it is stated in the simple past tense. For example: when the first
half was over (in example 2), by the time we got to the airport (in example 3), etc.
2. To restate activities/activities that have been predicted or planned to have
occurred/have been completed before other events/activities in the past. Note: In
this category, both activities are carried out by the same subject. Try to compare it
with the second category of past perfect tense!
Example:
a. I assumed that John would have traveled around the world before he got
married last year.
b. She thought that she would have read the entire book before she went to
campus yesterday afternoon.
c. I predicted that I would already have had enough time to eat before I played
badminton last night.
d. They thought he would have already bought a gift before he went to his
girlfriend's birthday party last night.
e. I once predicted that he would have had more than 50 wives before he died. I
was wrong. He turned out to be a very loving husband long time before he died
last week.
Note: already can be placed after would or after have.
3. To restate that the event/activity will continue to happen/done up to a certain
time limit in the past.
Example:
a. I thought I would have been at school only for 6 hours yesterday. In fact, I had
to wait for another hour because my dad's car broke down on the way to the
school.
b. I was completely sure that on August 17, I would have lived in this house for
10 years sharp.
c. I expected that I would have slept for 8 hours last night but I was awoken by
my neighbor's long big fight at 1 a.m. It was very loud and I couldn't fall asleep
till morning.
d. It was predicted that when Mr. Dodi retired last month, he would have worked
for this company for forty-five years.
e. She never expected that she would have waited for her boyfriend for 2 hours
last night.
4. To make the main clause unreal conditionals type 2, that is, if the fact is in past
future tense or simple past tense.
Example:
a. If you had told me about the today's exam, I would have studied hard last night.
(If you had told me that there would be an exam today, I would have studied hard
last night).
b. If you had not passed the English I, you would not have been allowed to take
the English. (If you have not passed English I, you will not be allowed to take this
English II course).
 c. He wouldn't have got an accident, if he had not driven fast. (He wouldn't have
had an accident, if he hadn't been speeding).
d. If my parents hadn't got divorced, I would've been much happier. (If my parents
had not divorced, I would have been much happier.)
e. If I hadn't got a scholarship, I wouldn't have been able to afford the school
expenses. (If I don't get a scholarship, I won't be able to pay school fees).
D. Past Future Perfect Continuous Tense
Subject + would + have + been + ( verb1+ing) + object + modifier

Example:
1. Farmers in Jati Bali would have been growing rice crops for 40 years by the
end of last month. (Farmers in Jati Bali will have been farming rice for 40 years
before the end of last month).
2. Students would have been conducting research on vegetative plant propagations
for one year when the semester started last month. (Some students will have been
doing research on vegetative plant propagation for 1 year when the semester
started last month).
3. Transpiration would have been starting to increase for more than an hour when
we measured it at 9 a.m. yesterday. (Transpiration would have started increasing
for over 1 hour when we measured it at 9am yesterday).

 Use of Past Future Perfect Continuous Tense

The use of the past future perfect continuous tense is the same as the use of the
third category of past future perfect tense, which is to state that an event/activity
will continue to occur/done until a certain time limit in the past.
Consider the example in the following third category past future perfect tense:
1. I thought I would have been at school only for 6 hours yesterday. In fact, I had
to wait for another hour because my dad's car broke down on the way to the
school.
2. I was completely sure that on August 17, I would have lived in this house for
10 years sharp.
3. I expected that I would have slept for 8 hours last night but I was awoken by
my neighbor's long big fight at 1 a.m. It was very loud and I couldn't fall asleep
till morning.
4. It was predicted that when Mr. Dodi retired last month, he would have worked
for this company for forty-five years.
5. She never expected that she would have waited for her boyfriend for 2 hours
last night. In the past future perfect continuous tense, these five sentences become:
a. I thought I would have been being at school only for 6 hours yesterday. In fact,
I had to wait for another hour because my dad's car broke down on the way to the
school.
b. I was completely sure that on August 17, I would have been living in this house
for 10 years sharp.
c. I expected that I would have been sleeping for 8 hours last night but I was
awoken by my neighbor's long big fight at 1 a.m. It was very loud and I couldn't
fall asleep till morning.
d. It was predicted that when Mr. Dodi retired last month, he would have been
working for this company for forty-five years.
e. She never expected that she would have been waiting for her boyfriend for 2
hours last night.
 CHAPTER III

Simple Future Tense is a tense that is used to express an action or action that will
be carried out in the future.
