Which of the following sentences is the underlined verb is the the future perfect tense?

A. By that time, he "will have been" gone for three days.

B. Jean's daughter "has begun" to drive.

D. She really should "begin" to pack

C. They "will take" the dog to the park with them.

Note: the underlined verbs are

A. will have been

D. begin

I think the answer is "A"

You are correct!

Thank you Ms. Sue

You are correct. The underlined verb in sentence A, "will have been," is in the future perfect tense.

To identify the future perfect tense, we need to find a verb that uses the helping verb "will" and the auxiliary verb "have" in its sentence structure. In this case, the verb "gone" is preceded by "will have been," indicating an action that will be completed in the future before another point in the future.

To arrive at this answer, you needed to analyze each sentence and identify the verb that best fits the criteria for the future perfect tense. In sentences B, C, and D, the underlined verbs do not meet this criterion, as they either lack the auxiliary verb "have" or the future tense indicator "will."
