Understanding the Future Perfect Tense in Português
The Future Perfect Tense in Português is used to talk about actions that will be completed before a specific point in the future. It's like saying, 'By the time something happens, this action will already be done.'
Important Points
  • The Future Perfect Tense is formed using the future tense of the verb 'ter' (to have) plus the past participle of the main verb.
  • It is often used with time expressions like 'by then', 'by the time', or 'before'.
  • This tense helps to imagine the future and talk about what will already be finished.
Examples
  • Eu terei terminado meu trabalho antes de você chegar.
  • Eles terão viajado para o Brasil até o próximo mês.
  • Nós teremos feito as compras antes de o mercado fechar.
To form the Future Perfect Tense, first use the future tense of 'ter'. For example, 'terei' (I will have), 'terás' (you will have), 'terá' (he/she/it will have), 'teremos' (we will have), 'tereis' (you all will have), 'terão' (they will have). Then, add the past participle of the main verb. For example, 'terminado' (finished), 'viajado' (traveled), 'feito' (done).

  • Use 'terás' for 'you will have'.
  • Use 'terá' for 'he/she/it will have'.
