The Past Future Perfect Tense

15. The Past Future Perfect Tense

        The Past Future Perfect Tense tersusun atas formasi subyek diikuti dengan katakerja bantu would atau should dan perfect form. Sedangkan bentuk kalimat negatif dengan menambahkan kata not setelah kata kerja bantu (would not = wouldn't, should not = shouldn't) dan bentuk interogatif dengan menempatkan kata kerja bantunya di depan subyek.

         Coba mari kita lihat kembali penjelasan tentang The Future Perfect Tense yang tersusun atas subyek + will / shall dan perfect form. Ada kesamaan dalam pola kalimat di atas dengan tenses ini, namun yang membedakannya yaitu: will / shall merupakan kata kerja bantu yang mencirikan waktu di masa mendatang, dan bentuk lampau dari will / shall adalah would / should yang mencirikan (ke)akan(an) di waktu lampau.

         Jadi kita dapat membuat kesimpulan bahwa The Past Future Perfect Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan tindakan atau peristiwa yang akan sempurna dilakukan atau terjadi di waktu lampau; dan si penutur juga menekankan pada terselesaikannya suatu kegiatan dan hasilnya di waktu lampau tersebut.

Pola Kalimat dengan:

(+) S + would/should + have + V3 + O/Adv. 

(-)  S + would/should + not + have + V3 + O/Adv. 

(?) Sould/Should + S + have + V3 + O/Adv.
