Future Perfect Tense Exercises with Answers

Before moving ahead with the exercises, let's have a brief look at the future perfect tense formula, which is consistent across all subjects and is one of the more straightforward tense constructions in English.

• Positive form formula: Subject + will have + past participle (V3)
• Negative form formula: Subject + will not (won't) have + past participle (V3)
• Question form formula: Will + subject + have + past participle (V3)?

The future perfect tense formula at a glance:

 

Form	Formula	Example
Positive	Subject + will have + V3	She will have finished by then.
Negative	Subject + will not have + V3	She will not have finished by then.
Question	Will + subject + have + V3?	Will she have finished by then?
Short answer (yes)	Yes, subject + will have.	Yes, she will have.
Short answer (no)	No, subject + won't have.	No, she won't have.
