It looks as if you need to study verb tenses, too.
D is incorrect.
D is incorrect.
Rochelle
So is it "future"?
Writeacher
Yes.
Future perfect is "will have" but future is only "will" (or sometimes "won't").
In fact, all the perfect tenses have some form of "have" in them: have, has, or had.
Future perfect is "will have" but future is only "will" (or sometimes "won't").
In fact, all the perfect tenses have some form of "have" in them: have, has, or had.
