The Future Perfect Tense

Perfect english grammar.

The future perfect tense is only used in a few situations, but it's still good to know it. Here's how to make it. Click here to download this explanation as a pdf. Click here to learn about how to USE this tense.

The future perfect is made with the future simple of 'have' (will have) and the past participle. For regular past participles add 'ed' to the verb ('play' becomes 'played'). Click here to learn about irregular past participles.

Here's the positive :

• I will have finished this book
• You will have studied the English tenses
• She will have cooked dinner
• He will have arrived
• We will have met Julie
• It will have stopped raining
• They will have left Japan

For the short form, we change will to 'll . But, when we are speaking, we also make 'have' shorter, so it sounds like I'll've finished (don't write this!). Here are some examples for you to listen to:

• I'll have finished this book Your browser does not support the audio element.
• You'll have studied the English tenses Your browser does not support the audio element.
• She'll have cooked dinner Your browser does not support the audio element.

Future Perfect Tense: The Future Perfect Tense (#1)

Because the first part of a future perfect verb is a  one-word modal   auxiliary , the second part is the  simple  (base) form of  have :  S-forms, past forms, and -ing forms cannot be used. Because the last two parts are like the present perfect in form, the third part is always the past participle .

She will have finished the project on/by Monday.

• Thread starter welder
• Start date Nov 7, 2022

Senior Member

• Nov 7, 2022

Hello everybody, Can somebody please tell me if it is possible to say: She will have finished the project on Monday. or should I say: She will have finished the project by Monday. Is there any difference between them? Thank you in advance.  

welder said: Is there any difference between them? Click to expand...

Thank you, Cholo . I encounter the problem with future perfect simple. So from your answer I understand that the first sentence I wrote is correct.  

welder said: She will have finished the project on Monday. She will have finished the project by Monday. Click to expand...

OK, gengo . Thank you so much.  

• Nov 12, 2022

gengo said: Both are correct, but the meaning is slightly different. The first one tells us that she will finish the project on Monday, while the second tells us she will finish the project no later than Monday. That said, in actual usage, both sentences would probably convey the same basic idea. Click to expand...

FromPA said: I see it a little differently. “She will have finished” is a statement of fact given what we know. If her last exam is scheduled for Tuesday, then you can say that by Wednesday, she will have finished her exams. “She will finish the project by Tuesday” is an expectation of when she will finish. Click to expand...

She will have finished the project on Monday. She will have finished the project by Monday. Click to expand...

• Nov 15, 2022

If we are projecting the state of affairs after Monday, for example on Wednesday, "by Monday" has to mean "no later than Monday", which is not the same as "on Monday". [ On Wednesday, ] she will have finished the project on Monday. [ On Wednesday, ] she will have finished the project by Monday. ["no later than Monday" (e.g. maybe on Sunday)] But if we are projecting the state of affairs at sometime on Monday, the use of the perfect puts the finishing before that time, and in that case, "by", "on", and "come" mean the same thing in terms of time: On Monday, she will [ already ] have finished the project. By Monday , she will [ already ] have finished the project. Come Monday , she will [ already ] have finished the project. I hope this makes sense.  

Resume Synonyms for Completed

Wish to highlight your task-oriented skills? The word 'Completed' may be too generic and could dilute the intensity of your accomplishments. Find out how to replace 'Completed' with more engaging, vivid language that enhances your professional narrative. Our guide is here to present the best synonyms for 'Completed' and how to weave them effectively into your resume.

Table of Contents

Using completed on a resume.

The term 'Completed' is a simple yet powerful word that signifies the successful conclusion of a task, project, or assignment. It's a word that carries a sense of accomplishment and finality, indicating that a specific task has been carried out to its end. In the context of a resume, 'Completed' is often used to highlight the tasks or projects that an individual has successfully finished in their previous roles. It is meant to communicate the candidate's ability to see a task through to its conclusion, demonstrating their reliability, commitment, and task-oriented nature. However, while 'Completed' is a useful term, it isn't always the most impactful word to use on your resume. The word 'Completed' can sometimes come across as mundane or routine, lacking the dynamism or action-oriented language that can make a resume stand out. Furthermore, it may not fully capture the depth of your involvement or the extent of your achievements in a given task or project. Therefore, it can be beneficial to consider using synonyms or alternative phrases that can more effectively convey your accomplishments and skills. By doing so, you can ensure that your resume is as compelling and persuasive as possible, maximizing its potential to catch the attention of potential employers.

How Completed Is Commonly Misused

"completed various tasks".

This statement is too vague and does not provide any specific information about the tasks that were completed. It is better to provide specific examples or details to showcase your skills and accomplishments.

"Completed all assigned projects"

While it may seem like a positive statement, it lacks impact and does not highlight any specific achievements. Instead, it is better to mention the outcomes or results of the projects completed, such as "Successfully completed all assigned projects ahead of schedule, resulting in a 20% increase in client satisfaction."

"Completed training courses"

This statement is too generic and does not provide any information about the specific training courses completed. It is better to mention the relevant training courses and certifications, such as "Successfully completed advanced Excel training course and obtained Microsoft Office Specialist certification."

"Completed daily administrative tasks"

This statement is too general and does not provide any details about the specific administrative tasks completed. It is better to mention the specific tasks and responsibilities, such as "Managed and completed scheduling, email correspondence, and document preparation for a team of 10 executives."

"Completed customer orders"

While it indicates completing customer orders, it lacks impact and does not highlight any specific achievements or improvements. Instead, it is better to mention any accomplishments or improvements related to customer orders, such as "Consistently completed customer orders with 100% accuracy, resulting in a 20% reduction in order errors and increased customer satisfaction."

When to Replace Completed with Another Synonym

Handling customer inquiries.

Instead of using "Completed," job seekers can use synonyms like "Resolved," "Addressed," or "Handled" to convey their ability to effectively handle customer inquiries. These alternatives highlight their customer service skills, problem-solving abilities, and their dedication to providing excellent customer support.

Achieving sales targets

When describing their sales achievements, job seekers can opt for synonyms such as "Attained," "Exceeded," or "Surpassed." These terms emphasize their ability to meet and surpass sales targets, showcasing their sales skills, negotiation abilities, and their track record of driving revenue growth.

Managing budgets

Instead of using "Completed," job seekers can use synonyms like "Managed," "Controlled," or "Oversaw" to convey their experience in managing budgets. These alternatives highlight their financial management skills, ability to allocate resources effectively, and their track record of achieving financial objectives.

The 20-Second Test As mentioned on the previous page, employers may only spend a few seconds looking at your résumé before deciding whether or not to interview you. You should anticipate this and use the 20-second test to see if your résumé passes. The 20-second test calls for you to have someone else read your résumé for twenty seconds. Then ask her how much she learned about you. If your reader noticed within twenty seconds what you want employers to learn about you, then most likely you will have designed an effective résumé. You may also want to look at your résumé from a distance of a 12 inches or so. Turn it upside down or sideways. What do you notice? Are there large blocks of hard-to-read text? Does the résumé seem balanced, or is it “weighted” to one side or another? Is there too much white space in one area? Revise as necessary. Lastly, always have a few different people read through your résumé in detail. Community centers, state, county, and city employment agencies can help you with this. Remember your résumé needs to be free of errors and designed with a professional appearance. Your résumé speaks for you when you cannot. You want your résumé to say good things to your potential employer so you can get the job you need. Click here to download the PDF file containing sample résumés and employment letters.

完成式 (Perfect Tense) 怎麼用？現在/過去/未來一次搞懂！

Hi, everyone~ 歡迎來到英文庫的文法系列！😍 我是 Gloria～✌🏻

今天要帶大家認識英文時態裡的「完成式」！完成式一直都是讓很多人困擾的一個時態，因為完成式用法很多、很複雜，是很特別的一個時態。

那英文時態的完成式到底是什麼？到底要怎麼用才正確呢？今天我們就來一次搞懂吧！Let’s go~😉

首先，我們先來認識什麼是「完成式」吧！其實「完成式」就字面上的意思來說，就是指某動作「已經完成」，我們來看例句：

I have finished the work.  （現在完成式） 我 已經 完成了工作 I had finished the work. （過去完成式） 我 之前 已經完成了工作 I will have finished the work. （未來完成式） 我 將 已經完成了工作

（上面的直接翻譯有點奇怪我懂～😅）

看完這些句子，你會發現這些動作都在某段時間「完成了」，所以，完成式就是用來敘述「 動作已經完成 」的情況，可以分為「現在完成式、過去完成式、未來完成式」，來表達在「 不同時間 」下完成的動作。我們接著來看「現在完成式」吧！

我們先來看看現在完成式的例句吧！

👉🏻 現在完成式會用 「have + P.P.」 的型態來表示，若主詞是 He / She / It 或單一個人時，則是用 「has + P.P.」

I have cleaned my room. She has finished her dinner. They have washed the car.

現在完成式雖然是一個特別的時態，但它的重點在於「 現在 」和「 完成 」這兩個概念，也就是說，如果想表達 「直到現在以前，某件事已經完成」 的情況，就可以用現在完成式。接下來，我們再把它們細分成這幾個功能吧！

• 功能#1：到目前為止「已完成」某件事

I have washed the dishes. 我已經洗好碗了 He has fixed the toilet. 他已經把馬桶修好了 She has just  made some cookies. 她剛剛才做了一些餅乾 The children have done their homework. 那些小孩已經完成他們的功課

• 功能#2：到目前為止的「經驗」、做過某事的「次數」

He has traveled to 20 countries so far. 他去過二十個國家 She has never tried Indian food. 她從沒嚐過印度料理 I have already seen this movie three times. 我已經看過這部電影三次了 We have done bungee jumping two times. 我們曾跳過兩次高空彈跳

• 功能#3：某狀態或動作從過去持續到現在 這個用法也常跟 since 還有 for 搭配使用。 since 後面接一個特定時間點，表示「某事、某狀態從什麼時候開始，就⋯⋯」，for 後面則接一段時間，表示「 某事、某狀態已經持續多久 」

I have lived in Taipei for 5 years. 我已經在台北住了五年（現在還住在台北） We haven’t seen her for a long time. 我們已經好久沒看到她了（現在還是沒看到她） She has written many books since 2010. 她從 2010 年開始就寫了很多本書（現在還有在寫書） They have been engineers since they graduated from college. 他們從大學畢業後就在當工程師（現在還是工程師）

看到這邊你會發現，原來現在完成式有這麼多用法～可以表示「完成了某事」，也可以表示「曾經有過的經驗」，還可以表示「從過去持續到現在的狀態」！是不是很好用呢～🤩

耶！恭喜你搞定現在完成式啦～接著我們來看看過去完成式吧！

先給你看過去完成式的例句吧！

👉🏻 不管主詞是什麼，過去完成式都會用 「had + P.P.」 的型態來表示

I had cleaned my room. She had finished her dinner. They had washed the car.

過去完成式的功能是指「在過去某個時間點之前，已經發生了某件事」，通常會用連接詞連接兩件事，先發生的事情用「過去完成式」，後發生的事情用「過去簡單式」

The show had started before we arrived . 在我們抵達之前，表演就已經開始了（表演先開始，用過去完成式） She had left the office when I called . 她在我打電話過去時已經離開了（她先離開，用過去完成式） They went to sleep because they had finished the dinner. 因為他們已經吃完晚餐，就先去睡覺了（他們先吃完晚餐，用過去完成式）

☝🏻 過去完成式的概念是要表達「 比過去更早發生 」的事，所以只要記住這點，就不容易出錯囉！

我們接著繼續看未來完成式吧！先給你看看例句囉！

👉🏻 不管主詞是什麼，未來完成式都會用 「will have + P.P.」 的型態來表示

I will have cleaned my room. She will have finished her dinner. They will have washed the car.

未來完成式的功能就是指「未來某個時間點之前，將已經完成某件事」

I will have done my laundry by 6:30 p.m. 我晚上六點半之前就會把衣服洗好 He will have finished this report before next Monday. 他在下禮拜一之前就會把報告寫完 They will have made lots of money by the age of 35. 他們在 35 歲之前就會賺很多錢

這些句子都是在強調某件事將「在未來的某個時間點之前發生」，常會搭配未來時間敘述，像這樣的情況，我們都可以用未來完成式來表達。

小補充：been / gone 差在哪？

最後一個小補充想聊聊在完成式的時候，been 跟 gone 的用法差別。

到底它們有什麼不同呢？我們先來看看這兩個句子：

They have been to Japan. They have gone to Japan.

這兩句有哪裡不一樣嗎？讓我來告訴你吧！🤓

「been」是 be 動詞的過去分詞，意思是「曾去過某地，但現在不在那裡了」，較常表示「個人經驗」，而「gone」是 go 的過去分詞，則是指「已經去了某地，現在還在那裡」。

所以我們現在回頭看看這兩個句子，意思其實是不一樣的：

They have been to Japan. 他們曾去過日本 （描述經驗，曾去過某地） They have gone to Japan. 他們已經去了日本 （現在還在日本）

所以說，如果這兩個字用在問句的時候，意思也會有些不一樣：

Has she been to Japan before? 她以前去過日本嗎？（問經驗） Has she gone to Japan? 她去日本了嗎？ （問是否去了）

看完是不是覺得更清楚了呢～🤩

That’s All for Today!

哇～恭喜你看完了！學完是不是很有成就感呢？給你一個大大的讚！👍🏻 希望看完這篇文章能讓你更認識英文的現在完成式、過去完成式，還有未來完成式。相信只要你常常練習、反覆運用，以後就更能活用這些知識在生活中囉！

以上就是今天的文法系列～那我們就下次見啦！😎
