The future perfect indicative tense describes a completed action in the future that has relevance to present (→ perfect aspect) and is based on the known state of affairs (→ indicative mood).
Persian distinguishes between past and non-past tenses. The present and future are expressed with the same conjugational forms. Regarding future perfect, it is expressed using the same grammatical form as present perfect. Therefore, a verbal form like رفتهام (rafteam) can mean “I have gone” and “I will have gone” depending on the context.
