注意事项

  1. 过去将来完成时通常需要一个明确的时间参照点:

    • ✔️ He said he would have finished by Monday.
    • ❌ He said he would have finished. (缺少时间参照点)
  2. 在时间状语从句中,要用现在完成时而不是过去将来完成时:

    • When I have finished (不是 would have finished), I will call you.
    • After she has graduated (不是 would have graduated), she plans to travel.
  3. 过去将来完成时常与以下时间表达一起使用:

    • by then
    • by that time
    • by the end of...
    • before...
    • when...
