This is Future Perfect in English, hence the name Prophetic Perfect Tense, I guess.
It is also not that similar, since PPT is speaking about events in the future in past tense as if they have already happened and Future Perfect/Futur II uses "will": "I will have finished my homework by tomorrow."
- atoav 3y agoThat's a good point, there is no will there, didn't even think about it.
- denton-scratch 3y agoI assumed from the title that it was the same as FP. But you seemto contradict yourself; you say that PPT is FP, and then say that "it is not that similar"; they can't be the same thing, and yet dissimilar.
- Sharlin 3y agoThe GP is ambiguous but I presume that they meant the Futur II in German is the same as future perfect tense in English, and neither is the same as the prophetic perfect tense.
- denton-scratch 3y agoOIC, maybe that makes sense. But I can't really tell, because the WP article didn't enlighten me.
