In Russian grammar, the Present Perfect and Future Perfect tenses are used to express completed actions in the past and future, respectively. Present Perfect is formed by combining the past passive participle of a verb with the auxiliary verb “to have” in the present tense. The Future Perfect is formed by combining the past passive participle of a verb with the auxiliary verb “to have” in the future tense. In this exercise, we will practice identifying and using these two tenses to distinguish between past and future completed actions in Russian.
