Word Meaning: Future Perfect = an advanced tense describing an action that WILL BE COMPLETED before a specific time or event in the future. It looks back from a future point and says action is already finished by then. Phrasal Verb Meaning: look ahead = think about future. Example: When you look ahead, you imagine future achievements. The future perfect tense will allow you to speak about the future in a really interesting way that may not exist in your own language.

A year from now, next year at this time, what things will already be over? Next year at this time, I will have finished university.
