German
The future perfect in German (called Futur II or vollendete Zukunft) is formed in a similar fashion to English by taking the simple future of the past infinitive, i.e. one uses the simple future of the auxiliary sein (= ich werde sein, du wirst sein etc.) or haben (= ich werde haben, du wirst haben etc.) and the verb you conjugate in the past participle (ich werde gemacht haben, du wirst gemacht haben etc.). For example:
-
-
- Ich werde etwas geschrieben haben.
- "I will have written something."
- Morgen um diese Uhrzeit werden wir bereits die Mathe-Prüfung gehabt haben.
- "Tomorrow at the same time we already will have had the math exam."
- Es wird ihm gelungen sein
- "He will have succeeded."
- Wir werden angekommen sein
- "We will have arrived."
