G: Future Perfect

In French, the future perfect tense is called the futur antérieur.

Formation

The future perfect is a perfect tense, and therefore consists of an auxiliary verb and a past participle. The auxiliary verb, avoir or être, is conjugated in the future tense. All rules that apply to the passé composé and other perfect tenses, such as certain verbs using être as an auxiliary verb, apply to the future perfect as well.
