過去將來完成時

過去將來完成時表示從過去觀點看將來某時某動作已完成。這個時態用得相對比較少，通常主要用于轉述方面，即用于第三條件句及間接引語中。這個時態有三大主要用法，各用法之間無太大關聯，學習這個時態，建議學習者著重把握第一個用法，即時態。
回憶一下，在學習過的虛擬語氣中，是否遇到過would+have+過去分詞結構。在第三大用法中，會再見到這個結構。
熱身：表達過去的虛擬，結構是：if+（had+過去分詞)，主句謂語則通常用（would+have+過去分詞）

過去將來完成時的三大用法

（一）表時態

1. 表示從過去某一時間來看將來某時會已經完成的動作
I thought Sophia would have told you something.
我想索菲婭會已告訴你一些情況。

（二）表情態

2. “would + have + 過去分詞”的情態用法，would 后接完成式除用于構成過去將來完成時外，它還有其情態動詞用法的一面

（三）用于虛擬

3. 用于虛擬語氣中,若表示與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣，此時條件從句的謂語用過去完成時（had+過去分詞），而主句謂語則通常用過去完成時（would+have+過去分詞），當然，主句謂語也可根據情況使用“should (could, might)+have+過去分詞”

要是我早點動身，我就準時到了。（但我動身太遲了）
