Questions & Answers about L'entreprise aura extrait cette ressource.
How exactly is aura extrait formed to mean "will have extracted"?
This sentence uses the futur antérieur (future perfect) tense. Just like in English, you build it using two parts: the future tense of your helper verb (here, avoir becomes aura for "will have") plus the past participle of the main verb (extraire becomes extrait for "extracted").
What is the infinitive of the verb for extrait?
The infinitive is extraire (to extract). It is an irregular verb, which is why its past participle is extrait rather than ending in the typical -é, -i, or -u. Other verbs ending in -traire follow this exact same pattern, such as distraire (to distract) becoming distrait.
Since L'entreprise is a feminine noun, shouldn't the past participle be extraite?
No, because the helper verb is avoir. When using avoir in compound tenses (like the passé composé or this futur antérieur), the past participle only changes to match a direct object if that object comes before the verb. Here, the direct object (cette ressource) comes after the verb, so extrait stays in its default form.
Why does this sentence use cette ressource instead of ce ressource?
Ressource is a feminine noun, so you must use the feminine demonstrative adjective cette (this/that). As a quick refresher: ce is for masculine nouns, cet is for masculine nouns starting with a vowel, and cette is for all feminine nouns.
