The future perfect tense in Portuguese is used to indicate an action that will be completed in the future before another action or point in time. It expresses an event that will have happened or a state that will have been achieved at a specific future moment. To form the future perfect tense in Portuguese, you need to use the auxiliary verb "ter" (to have) or "haver" (to have) in the future indicative tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.

Here are the rules for forming the future perfect tense in Portuguese:

1. Use the future indicative form of the auxiliary verb "ter":

* Eu terei (I will have)
* Tu terás (You will have)
* Ele/Ela/Você terá (He/She/You will have)
* Nós teremos (We will have)
* Vós tereis (You will have)
* Eles/Elas/Vocês terão (They/You all will have)
2. Add the past participle of the main verb:

* For regular verbs, the past participle is formed by adding the suffix "-ado" to the stem of -ar verbs and "-ido" to the stem of -er and -ir verbs:


+ Exemplo 1: Eu terei estudado (I will have studied)
+ Exemplo 2: Ela terá comido (She will have eaten)
+ Exemplo 3: Nós teremos partido (We will have left)
* For irregular verbs, the past participle has specific forms that need to be learned:


+ Exemplo 4: Eu terei dito (I will have said)
+ Exemplo 5: Ele terá feito (He will have done)
+ Exemplo 6: Vocês terão ido (You all will have gone)
