How to translate Futuro Perfecto to English

Note that the phrases in English provided below next to each conjugation are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:
  • In Spanish conjugation, there is the form usted in the third person singular. But this person does not translate to the English third person singular. It translates to the so called formal you and uses the inflected form which is most often represented as he/she/it in English conjugation charts.
  • Similar situation happens in the third person plural, where ustedes translates to the English plural formal you but uses the form which corresponds to the they form in English.
  • Tenses are used differently in Spanish and English, so the actual translation should always take into account the context and focus on translating the meaning, not just words.
  • In both languages each verb may have multiple meanings and not every meaning translates directly to the other language. Here also, the context and focusing on the particular meaning helps to create the most accurate translation.

Step by step instructions

Futuro Perfecto is a compound tense (Spanish: compuesto). It means that all of its inflected forms consist of two words. In Spanish language, there are also simple tenses, where each inflected verb form is one word long.

A compound tense is indicated by the ending of the auxiliary verb, not by the ending of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:
  • An inflected form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Futuro Perfecto de Indicativo tense, we use the Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo (Future) conjugation of haber
  • Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
Check out the conjugation charts and this haber conjugation lesson to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we are focusing on the parts derived from complacer only in this lesson.In order to create the Participio form, we need a stem and an ending. We use the stem of the infinitive of the main verb, and a single ending, which depends on the conjugation group of the main verb. So we start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s easy to do – simply remove two letters from the end of the infinitive form to get the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.So for our verb:
  • the stem is: complac-
  • and the ending is: -er
Based on the ending of the infinitive we can tell that complacer belongs to the -er verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ido ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: complacido.

And now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s proceed with creating the final conjugation forms.
In order to create the first person singular form, we need to take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo, which is habré. To that we add the Participio complacido to get habré complacido:
  • yo habré complacido – I will have pleased
Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again need to take the second person singular form of haber from the Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo tense, and it is habrás. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio complacido (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrás complacido:
  • tú habrás complacido – you will have pleased
Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Futuro tense and we utilize the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely habrá. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get habrá complacido:
  • él habrá complacido – he will have pleased
  • ella habrá complacido – she will have pleased
  • usted habrá complacido – (formal) you will have pleased

The first person plural has the form habremos complacido. It’s created by following the same logic as in the other persons. We first take the form of the first person plural from haber conjugation in the Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo tense: habremos. Second, and to this word we again add the Participio of complacer: complacido to get habremos complacido:
  • nosotros habremos complacido – we will have pleased
  • nosotras habremos complacido – (feminine) we will have pleased
Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We need to get the conjugated form of the verb haber in the Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo tense, second person plural, and it is habréis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get habréis complacido:
  • vosotros habréis complacido – (plural) you will have pleased
  • vosotras habréis complacido – (feminine, plural) you will have pleased
And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrán complacido. We create it in the exact same manner as in all the other grammatical persons. We need the third person plural of haber first, from its Futuro conjugation. It is habrán. We add the Participio of complacer again (complacido) to get habrán complacido:
  • ellos habrán complacido – they will have pleased
  • ellas habrán complacido – (feminine) they will have pleased
  • ustedes habrán complacido – (formal, plural) you will have pleased

Hurray! The conjugation is now complete. The final result looks as follows:

yohabré complacidoI will have pleased
habrás complacidoyou will have pleased
él/ella/ustedhabrá complacidohe/she/it will have pleased
nosotros/nosotrashabremos complacidowe will have pleased
vosotros/vosotrashabréis complacidoyou will have pleased
ellos/ellas/ustedeshabrán complacidothey will have pleased
