The future perfect simple (will have + past participle) is used to talk about actions or situations that will
be complete before a specific time in the future.
Jack is planning to leave his house at 10 pm tonight. If I arrive at 11 pm, he’ll have already left.
The future perfect is the future of the present perfect (have/has + past participle). We use the present
perfect to talk about actions or situations that happened before or up to now:
Jack isn’t at home right now. He has already left.
We often use the future perfect with time expressions such as by and by the time, by this time next ...:
By this time next year, we’ll have been married for nearly ten years.
By the time you get there, she’ll have gone home.
Compare the future perfect simple with the future perfect continuous (will have + been + verb -ing):
