Perfect tenses worksheets | Worsheets library - Free Printable

Let’s work through this step by step.

This worksheet is about the future perfect tense. That’s a verb tense we use to talk about something that will be finished before a certain time in the future.

The formula is:
will have + past participle

For example:
“I will have gone to the store.” → This means, by some future time, going to the store will already be done.

Now let’s look at each sentence and fill in the blanks correctly using the future perfect tense.

---

Sentence 1:
Harry ___ (study) for 12 years when he graduates.
→ We need “will have studied” — because studying will be completed by the time he graduates.
✔ Already filled in: *will have studied*

---

Sentence 2:
Our team ___ (finish) overseas by September.
→ “finish” → past participle is “finished”
→ So: *will have finished*

---

Sentence 3:
He ___ (do) research before writing her essay.
→ “do” → past participle is “done”
→ So: *will have done*

---

Sentence 4:
The dog ___ (sleep) for 6 hours by the time I get home.
→ “sleep” → past participle is “slept”
→ So: *will have slept*

---

Sentence 5:
By Sunday, my parents ___ (paint) the whole house.
→ “paint” → past participle is “painted”
→ So: *will have painted*

---

Sentence 6:
I ___ (clean) everything before my brother wakes up.
→ “clean” → past participle is “cleaned”
→ So: *will have cleaned*

---

Sentence 7:
We ___ (finish) a lot by the end of the year.
→ “finish” → past participle is “finished”
→ So: *will have finished*

---

Sentence 8:
The horse ___ (leave) the barn by now if the gate was open.
→ “leave” → past participle is “left”
→ So: *will have left*

---

Now, the “Try on your own” section:

1. Form a sentence using the future tense.
→ Future tense = “will + base verb”
Example: *I will go to the park tomorrow.*

2. Form a sentence using the future perfect tense.
→ Future perfect = “will have + past participle”
Example: *By next week, I will have finished my homework.*
