Latin
In Latin conjugation the future perfect is found by using the perfect stem + a declined future being verb (ero). An exception is that the active indicative 3rd person plural is formed from the perfect stem + erint, instead of + erunt. E.g., amaverint, not amaverunt.
The future perfect active is formed thus:
perfect stem | + | future perfect suffix |
+ | thematic vowel |
+ | person and number ending |
dix- | -er- | -i- | -mus | |||
We shall have spoken |
The future perfect passive is formed thus:
perfect passive participle | + | future of sum |
amātus | erō | |
have been loved | I will |
