Θα έχω plus an invariant perfect form presents an event as completed by a future reference point.

How It Works

Θα έχω plus an invariant perfect form presents an event as completed by a future reference point.

The auxiliary agrees with the subject. Context can also give θα έχω an inferential reading about the past, so a deadline or future time phrase helps make the future-perfect meaning clear.
