An Overview of the Future Perfect
The future perfect (or preterito anterior) is used to describe a future action that precedes and is relevant for another future action, e.g.: Cuando termino, habrán llegado mis primos. ("When I finish, my cousins will have arrived.")
It tends to follow a phrase written in the present or the simple future.
