Future Perfect
The future perfect is a tense used to express situations that are occurring or
that will develop in the future and imagine that they have completed for when it
comes time to which we refer. This verbal form is usually accompanied by a
temporary expression, for example:

By this afternoon, I will have arrived at home.


In this case not mentioned if I am travelling at that time but it is safe when the
evening already I'll be in my house.

By tomorrow, I will have gotten a new job.


Here is expressed if the job search is taking place but it is clear when the next
day I will have a new one.

To build the affirmative form of this tense we use the auxiliary verb TO
HAVE in future Simple followed by the past participle of the main verb, for
example:

By 9 oclock she wiIl have prepared the dinner.

He will have cleaned his desk before he leaves the office.

We will have travelled to London by this evening.

They will have visited the museum by the time they get home.

For questioning, will have to begin with WILL followed by the subject, the
infinitive form of the verb TO HAVE, then the main verb in past participle
as we can see below:

Will she have prepared the dinner by 9 oclock?

Will he have cleaned his desk before he leaves the office?

Will we have travelled to London by this evening?

Will they have visited the museum by the time they get home?
The negative form is constructed by placing between the auxiliary verb
and the Assistant WILL NOT denial TO HAVE, for example:

By 9 oclock she wiIl not have prepared the dinner.

Before he leaves the office, he will not have cleaned his desk.

We will not have travelled to London by this evening.

They will not have visited the museum by the time they get home.

Linking Words

Connectors ('Linking Words' in English) are those words that help us to connect
several phrases.

WHAT SERVE?

Connectors are used to connect several phrases indicating the relationship with
each other.

I am not going to the cinema because I have no money.

* This sentence gives us the reason why not going to the movies. That is why
we use the word 'because.'

WHICH ARE TO ADD?

There are different types of connectors. We use some to join, that is, to add
more information.

AND: The ideas are usually joined with 'and' ('and'). If both phrases have the
same subject we can omit it.

I went to his house and (he) found a present.

AS WELL AS: This way of uniting the phrase can be used at the beginning or in
the middle of the sentence, but never at the end. Translates as 'as well as'.
She went to the park as well as to the shop.
ALSO: Connector 'also' ('also') is used to add new ideas or give certain
emphasis. However, not often used at the beginning of sentence.

He likes football. He also likes tennis.

IN ADDITION: If you want to start a sentence with a connector you can use 'in
addition' ('addition'), which is always used at beginning of sentence. Remember
that it is always followed by a comma.

You like football. In addition, like tennis.

WHICH ARE TO EXPRESS A CONTRAST?

Some of these connectors are used to express contrast, i.e., to indicate two
contrary ideas.

BUT / HOWEVER: both connectors are used with this sense of contrast.
However, the particle 'but' ('but') does not usually used at beginning of
sentence, in such a case use 'however' ('however').

He likes football but he doesn't like tennis.

He likes football. However, he doesn't like tennis.

ALTHOUGH: We may also use 'although' ('but'), that it is not followed by coma
and can go at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence.

Although he likes football, he doesn't like tennis.

WHICH ARE TO EXPRESS REASON AND CONSEQUENCE?

There are also connectors to express the reason why something happened or
the consequence that had.

SO: This connector is used to talk about the result, and is commonly used in the
middle of a sentence.

He likes football, so I went to the match.

BECAUSE: This connector indicates the reason why we have done something.

I went to the match because he likes football.
