esperer + futur’s

Only for future things

#

Same usage as you intended to, but for things that didn't happen yet

FWIW, his test was today, so I expected that he already has completed these actions

"J'espère que tu auras as fait un bon voyage vers Aix en Provence"

I said to my friend today: "j'espère que tout se sera s'est bien passé et que tu auras as reçu de bonnes nouvelles"

okay so let me clarify:

"J'espère que tu as fait un voyage samedi dernier"

What is the difference between "j'espère que tu auras fait un bon voyage" et "j'espère que tu feras un bon voyage" ?

Huuuuh

#

The first one is a complex mix

#

First : I hope that you'll have done a good trip

Second : I hope that you'll have a good trip

#

I guess ?

j'aimerais savoir si c'est seulement les profs qui utilisent le FA 😅

#

j'utiliserai le futur simple, ça suffit n'est-ce pas?

babe i still dont get why my prof decided to whip out a FA in this case

silent shard
#

Oh they did?

scarlet leaf
#

my educated guess before trying to actually acquire knowledge was that she thought i'd already finished it by then

silent shard
#

Oh I missed the initial message details

#

What's your prof's background? It sounds like she doesn't think you've done it yet, though it's not entirely clear what time period she's referring to aside from just "the future"

my actual question is what is the difference in using FS vs FA here in the clause

Futur simple is like present but in the future.
Futur antérieur is like past but in the future, the event is considered as completed by then.
If we consider the moment your friend goes on the trip in the future, then we use FS. if we consider the future moment they are back from said trip, FA is the tense of choice.
