Spanish Future Perfect  


More on Future Perfect

To form the future perfect of the indicative mood, we need to use the auxiliary verb "haber" (have) in its future simple and the past participle of another verb. To form the past participle of the regular verbs in Spanish, we need to take the verb as we find it in the dictionary and remove the last two letters. Then, if the verb ends in "-ar" we will add the ending "-ado" and if the verb ends in "-er" or "-ir" we will add the ending "-ido". Eg:

For the verbs ending in -ar:

yo                (I)           habré
                (You)         habrás
Ud./él/ella       (you/he/she)  habrá
nosotros (as)     (we)          habremos
vosotros (as)     (you guys)    habréis
Uds./ellos/ellas  (you all/they)habrán 

Example: We take the verb "hablar" (to speak). We remove the "-ar": We are left with "habl-" (the stem) and then we add "-ado". In this way we have the past participle of the verb "hablar" (to speak).

To conjugate the future perfect of the verb"hablar" (to speak) we will use the future simple tense of the verb "haber" (to have) and the past participle of the verb "hablar" (to speak).
