Future Perfect Tense
1. You use the future perfect to describe an action or event that will happen in the future before another future action.
Example: Él habrá terminado el trabajo antes de que el día termine. => He will have finished the work before the end of the day 2. Future perfect may also express probability in the RECENT past. Example: ¿Lo habrán hecho? => I wonder if they did it. Habré ganado. => I must have won My question is how common is the second usage? And is there other ways to express the same thing? |

They're very common.
If you want to say I wonder, you'll use the future tense. Note these differences: I wonder if they'll do it (soon). = ¿Lo harán? I wonder if they did it (earlier). = ¿Lo habrán hecho? |
