future perfect simple question

C2, FUTURE, perfect, QUESTIONS, simple

Example: “Will you have achieved your goals by the end of the year?”

The future perfect simple is formed by using the auxiliary verb “will” followed by the subject, then “have” and the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is “achieved,” which is the past participle form of “achieve.”

The importance of the future perfect simple tense lies in its ability to express actions or states that will be completed or finished in the future before a specific reference point. It helps us discuss anticipated accomplishments or outcomes. In the example question, we inquire about the completion of goals by the end of the year. This tense allows us to reflect on future achievements, setting a timeframe and highlighting the expected fulfillment of objectives. It is particularly valuable when discussing future plans, and aspirations, or evaluating progress towards a specific target.

And what will we have left?
*This example is ambiguous and might not be future perfect.  ‘left’ might be functioning here as a participle/adjective as in ‘we had nothing left.  There was no leftover food.’  Another rewording might be ‘What will we have that is left over?‘
