Future perfect vs.

future
simple
comparison
• Both tenses tend to describe future actions but they express different
actions and events.
• I will call her. 
• I will have called her.

• Future simple tense tends to appear when we are talking about decisions
that we made, while the future perfect tense guesses the time of the
completion of events.
• I will have graduated by next year. 
 Here, we are talking about the completion of an event.

• I will graduate by next year. 


 Here, we are talking a certain future action and not the completion of an event
You can also use the future perfect tense and the simple future tense
interchangeably sometimes. the word before clears up the sequence of the
events:
• Ruby will leave before you get there.
• Ruby will have left before you get there.
• However, without prepositions like before or by the time that clears the
sequence of events. One must use the future perfect for showing what
occurred first.
• At six o’clock Ruby will leave.
This shows that Ruby will wait until six o’clock to leave.
• At six o’clock Ruby will have left.
This shows that Ruby will leave before six o’clock.
