How to translate Futuro Perfecto to English

Notice that the English phrases 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:
  • A conjugated 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 querer only here.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 – just 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: quer-
  • and the ending is: -er
Based on the ending of the infinitive we can tell that querer 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: querido.

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 simply take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo, which is habré. To that we add the Participio querido to get habré querido:
  • yo habré querido – I will have wanted
Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again simply take the second person singular form of haber from the Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo tense, and it is habrás. And to this auxiliary verb we add the Participio querido (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrás querido:
  • tú habrás querido – you will have wanted
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 habrá. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get habrá querido:
  • él habrá querido – he will have wanted
  • ella habrá querido – she will have wanted
  • usted habrá querido – (formal) you will have wanted

The first person plural has the form habremos querido. 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 querer: querido to get habremos querido:
  • nosotros habremos querido – we will have wanted
  • nosotras habremos querido – (feminine) we will have wanted
Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We need to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Futuro Imperfecto de Indicativo tense, second person plural, and it’s habréis. Next, we take the unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get habréis querido:
  • vosotros habréis querido – (plural) you will have wanted
  • vosotras habréis querido – (feminine, plural) you will have wanted
And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrán querido. 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 querer again (querido) to get habrán querido:
  • ellos habrán querido – they will have wanted
  • ellas habrán querido – (feminine) they will have wanted
  • ustedes habrán querido – (formal, plural) you will have wanted

¡Ya está! The conjugation is now complete. Put together, the conjugation chart looks like this:

yohabré queridoI will have wanted
habrás queridoyou will have wanted
él/ella/ustedhabrá queridohe/she/it will have wanted
nosotros/nosotrashabremos queridowe will have wanted
