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.

In a compound tense the endings of the auxiliary verb change, not the endings 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 Subjuntivo tense, we use the Futuro de Subjuntivo (Future Subjunctive) conjugation of haber
  • Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
Check out the conjugation charts to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we’ll focus on the parts derived from mostrar 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 need to start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s very easy to do – simply remove two letters from the end of the infinitive form and you have the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.So for mostrar:
  • the stem is: mostr-
  • and the ending is: -ar
Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that mostrar belongs to the -ar verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ado ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: mostrado.

And now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on 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 de Subjuntivo, which is hubiere. To that we add the Participio mostrado to get hubiere mostrado:
  • yo hubiere mostrado – I will have shown/will have showed
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 de Subjuntivo tense, and that is hubieres. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio mostrado (so the exact same word as previously) to get hubieres mostrado:
  • tú hubieres mostrado – you will have shown/will have showed
Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Futuro tense and we use the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely hubiere. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get hubiere mostrado:
  • él hubiere mostrado – he will have shown/will have showed
  • ella hubiere mostrado – she will have shown/will have showed
  • usted hubiere mostrado – (formal) you will have shown/will have showed

The first person plural has the form hubiéremos mostrado. 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 de Subjuntivo tense: hubiéremos. Second, to this word we again add the Participio of mostrar: mostrado to get hubiéremos mostrado:
  • nosotros hubiéremos mostrado – we will have shown/will have showed
  • nosotras hubiéremos mostrado – (feminine) we will have shown/will have showed
Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We have to get the conjugated form of the verb haber in the Futuro de Subjuntivo tense, second person plural, and it is hubiereis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hubiereis mostrado:
  • vosotros hubiereis mostrado – (plural) you will have shown/will have showed
  • vosotras hubiereis mostrado – (feminine, plural) you will have shown/will have showed
And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hubieren mostrado. 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 hubieren. We add the Participio of mostrar again (mostrado) to get hubieren mostrado:
  • ellos hubieren mostrado – they will have shown/will have showed
  • ellas hubieren mostrado – (feminine) they will have shown/will have showed
  • ustedes hubieren mostrado – (formal, plural) you will have shown/will have showed

Hurray! The conjugation is now finished. Put together, the conjugation chart looks like this:

yohubiere mostradoI will have shown/will have showed
hubieres mostradoyou will have shown/will have showed
él/ella/ustedhubiere mostradohe/she/it will have shown/will have showed
