No, be careful! "By" means 'not later than a specific time'. "Until" is used for actions that continue up to a point and then stop. With Future Perfect, we almost always use "By". 🚫
What if the verb is irregular? Do I still use V3?
Yes! ALWAYS use the Past Participle (V3). For regular verbs, it's -ed (finished). For irregular verbs, it changes: "By tomorrow, I will have **eaten** / **seen** / **written**." 📝
Do native speakers actually use this tense in everyday speaking? It feels so long.
Yes, they do! Especially when talking about plans, work deadlines, or travel. But in speaking, we usually use contractions to make it faster: "I'll have finished" (I'll've finished). 🗣️
Can I use "until" instead of "by"? Like "Until 5 PM, I will have finished."?
