G: Future Perfect<br />

In French, the future perfect tense is called the futur antérieur.<br />

Formation<br />

The future perfect is a perfect tense, and therefore consists of an auxiliary verb and a past participle. The<br />

auxiliary verb, avoir or être, is conjugated in the future tense. All rules that apply to the passé composé and<br />

other perfect tenses, such as certain verbs using être as an auxiliary verb, apply to the future perfect as well.<br />
