Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will learn about the Futuro Anteriore compound tense in Italian. The Futuro Anteriore is used to talk about actions that will have been completed in the future. It is formed by combining the future tense of the auxiliary verb "avere" or "essere" with the past participle of the main verb. Understanding how to form and use the Futuro Anteriore tense will allow you to express more complex ideas and events that will happen in the future.

Forming the Futuro Anteriore[edit | edit source]

To form the Futuro Anteriore tense, we need to use the future tense of the auxiliary verb "avere" or "essere" and the past participle of the main verb. Let's take a look at the conjugation of "avere" and "essere" in the future tense:

Conjugation of "avere" in the future tense[edit | edit source]

  • Io avrò (I will have)
  • Tu avrai (You will have)
  • Lui/lei avrà (He/she will have)
  • Noi avremo (We will have)
  • Voi avrete (You all will have)
  • Loro avranno (They will have)

Conjugation of "essere" in the future tense[edit | edit source]

  • Io sarò (I will be)
  • Tu sarai (You will be)
  • Lui/lei sarà (He/she will be)
  • Noi saremo (We will be)
  • Voi sarete (You all will be)
  • Loro saranno (They will be)

Now that we know how to conjugate the auxiliary verbs in the future tense, let's see how to form the Futuro Anteriore with some examples:

  • Io avrò mangiato (I will have eaten)
  • Tu avrai studiato (You will have studied)
  • Lui/lei avrà dormito (He/she will have slept)
  • Noi avremo lavorato (We will have worked)
  • Voi avrete viaggiato (You all will have traveled)
  • Loro avranno finito (They will have finished)

In the examples above, we can see that the auxiliary verb "avere" is conjugated in the future tense, and the past participle of the main verb is added to form the Futuro Anteriore tense.

Using the Futuro Anteriore[edit | edit source]

The Futuro Anteriore is used to talk about actions that will have been completed in the future. It is often used in conjunction with other future tenses to indicate the order of events or to express cause and effect relationships. Let's see some examples:

Example 1[edit | edit source]

Domani andrò al supermercato e avrò comprato tutto il necessario per la cena. (Tomorrow, I will go to the supermarket and I will have bought everything necessary for dinner.)

In this example, the Futuro Anteriore is used to express an action that will be completed before another future action. First, the speaker will go to the supermarket, and then they will have bought everything necessary for dinner.

Example 2[edit | edit source]

Quando arriverai, avrò già preparato il pranzo. (When you arrive, I will have already prepared lunch.)

In this example, the Futuro Anteriore is used to indicate that the speaker will complete the action of preparing lunch before the arrival of the other person.

Example 3[edit | edit source]

Se non studierai, non avrai superato l'esame. (If you don't study, you will not have passed the exam.)

In this example, the Futuro Anteriore is used to express a cause and effect relationship. If the person doesn't study, they will not have passed the exam.

Irregular Past Participles[edit | edit source]

Just like in other compound tenses, some verbs have irregular past participles in the Futuro Anteriore tense. Here are some common examples:

  • Aprire (to open) - avrò aperto (I will have opened)
  • Bere (to drink) - avrò bevuto (I will have drunk)
  • Dire (to say) - avrò detto (I will have said)
  • Fare (to do/make) - avrò fatto (I will have done/made)
  • Mettere (to put) - avrò messo (I will have put)
  • Scrivere (to write) - avrò scritto (I will have written)
  • Vedere (to see) - avrò visto (I will have seen)
  • Venire (to come) - sarò venuto/venuta/venuti/venute (I will have come)
