Real ESL Video Lesson #12 - The Future Perfect

The Future Perfect is the perfect tense for setting goals with deadlines. A deadline is a date that you must complete an activity or job.

For example, by this time next year, what will you have achieved/done/accomplished in your life?

You should say, "I will have ____" In the underlined part, put a past participle, such as "I will have found a new job by this time next year."

Thanks for watching!
