Future Perfect - German

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."

    “The German Reich is a Republic, and whoever doesn’t believe it gets one in the neck.”
