The futuro perfecto describes actions that will have been completed by a certain point in the future. It's formed using the future tense of haber + past participle. The past participle is formed by removing -ar/-er/-ir and adding -ado (for -ar verbs) or -ido (for -er/-ir verbs). It is used for:
- Actions that will be completed before a future point
- A conjecture about a completed past action (Habrá llegado ya — He has probably arrived already)
Regular Conjugations
| Pronoun | -AR | -ER/-IR |
|---|---|---|
| yo | habré + -ado | habré + -ido |
| tú | habrás + -ado | habrás + -ido |
| él/ella/ud. | habrá + -ado | habrá + -ido |
| nosotros | habremos + -ado | habremos + -ido |
| vosotros | habréis + -ado | habréis + -ido |
| ellos/uds. | habrán + -ado | habrán + -ido |
The future of haber carries the person; the participle is the one every perfect tense uses.
Regular -AR verb: hablar in Futuro Perfecto
An -er or -ir verb takes -ido after habré. Irregular participles keep their usual form: habré hecho, habrán visto.
