NOTES
(from Duolingo)
The future perfect in Italian is formed using the future tense of “avere” (avrò, avrai, avrà, etc.) or “essere” (sarò, sarai, sarà, etc.) followed by the past participle of the verb (-ato, -uto, -ito). Agreement for the participles and the use of “avere” or “essere” follows the same rules as the present perfect (passato prossimo) and all other perfect tenses.
Though the Italian future perfect can be translated as the future perfect in English (for example, “will have played”), there are a couple of unique uses of the future perfect in Italian.
One of these is the conjectural future tense. In Italian, the future and future perfect are used to express a conjecture about something in the present or the past, respectively. For statements, this can often be translated as “must” (in the future) or “must have” (in the future perfect):
- Marta avrà voluto un gatto. (Marta must have wanted a cat.)
For questions, one can express conjecture in English with “could,” “can,” “might,” etc.
- Chi l’avrà preso? (Who can have taken it?)
You may also note that Italian uses the future or future perfect in some adverbial clauses (after “quando,” for example) referring to an action in the future, where English prefers the present or present perfect. For example:
- Quando avrò finito i compiti, ti chiamerò. (When I have finished my homework, I will call you.)

The future perfect follows the same rules in regard to avere and essere as the present and past perfect.
