will have left. The latter part is the future perfect tense.
The good news is that the future perfect tense is easy to conjugate. Add will have to a past tense verb to show that this has yet to happen. First-person singular I will have left Second-person singular You will have left Third-person singular He/She/It will have left First-person plural We will have left Second-person plural You will have left Third-person plural They will have left To make a future perfect tense verb negative, you add the words not before the word have. If you are lucky, they will not have left yet. Future continuous The future continuous tense is the final version of the future tense which we will cover. Its function is to describe something that will happen in the future over a period of time. I am very proud to announce that my sister will be running the marathon this year. In this example, you can see that her sister will be running the marathon. It is a great way to conjugate in the future as it emphasises the continuous nature of the action that will take place over a period of time. Something to note, you can only use the future continuous for action verbs such as running, walking, swimming, etc. If you try and conjugate it using a verb that doesn’t describe an active action, it will appear ironic and odd to the reader. Just stick to the simple future tense for those verbs. The future continuous tense is conjugated by adding will be to a present participle verb (meaning it has ing at the end of the verb). First-person singular I will be running Second-person singular You will be running Third-person singular He/She/It will be running First-person plural We will be running Second-person plural You will be running Third-person plural They will be running To make a future continuous tense verb negative, you can add the word not in between will and be. Due to an injury, Jessica will not be running today. That is everything you are going to get from me in terms of tenses. There are a few extra tenses that you can use. However, my advice is that the tenses described above are by far the most commonly used and have you covered for whichever situation you wish to describe. Approach cautiously when starting to use tenses. Question your old habits as much as you can and ask yourself if you have broken away from mixing up the tenses. Don’t worry, run through the examples a few more times to get more familiar and you will be just fine! |
