How to translate Futuro Perfecto to English

Notice that the phrases in English in the third column of the above conjugation chart are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:
  • In Spanish, 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 conjugated 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

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 have to begin 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: reflexion-
  • and the ending is: -ar
Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that reflexionar 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: reflexionado.

Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on with creating the final conjugation forms.

Image of Conjugate haber in Futuro ...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. And to that we add the Participio reflexionado to get habré reflexionado:
  • yo habré reflexionado


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. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio reflexionado (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrás reflexionado:
  • tú habrás reflexionado
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 reflexionado:
  • él habrá reflexionado
  • ella habrá reflexionado
  • usted habrá reflexionado


The first person plural has the form habremos reflexionado. 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, to this word we again add the Participio of reflexionar: reflexionado to get habremos reflexionado:
  • nosotros habremos reflexionado
  • nosotras habremos reflexionado

We have to get the conjugated 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 reflexionado:
  • vosotros habréis reflexionado
  • vosotras habréis reflexionado


And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrán reflexionado. 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 reflexionar again (reflexionado) to get habrán reflexionado:
  • ellos habrán reflexionado
  • ellas habrán reflexionado
  • ustedes habrán reflexionado

That’s it! The conjugation is now finished. But don’t end your session yet – it’s important to repeat and practice the material in order to retain it. Check below for suggestions.
