Questions & Answers about Sie wird beruflich alles erreicht haben. Darauf ist sie stolz.
Why are both erreicht and haben at the end of the first sentence?
This is the standard word order for Futur II (Future Perfect). The conjugated helper verb werden (wird) takes the second position, pushing both the past participle (erreicht) and the auxiliary infinitive (haben) to the very end of the clause.
Could wird ... erreicht haben also express something about the past instead of the future?
Yes! While this lesson focuses on its use for future completed actions (she will have achieved), Futur II is actually more often used in everyday German to express an assumption about the past: 'She probably achieved everything.' Context tells you which one is meant.
Why does the second sentence start with Darauf instead of just Auf das?
The adjective stolz always pairs with the preposition auf (to be proud of). Because she is proud of an entire concept from the previous sentence rather than a specific physical noun, German uses a da-compound. An r is added between da and auf because the preposition starts with a vowel.
What role does the word beruflich play, and why is it placed before alles?
Beruflich is an adverb meaning 'professionally' or 'in her career.' Placing it early in the sentence establishes the context immediately, so we know that alles refers specifically to everything in her career, rather than absolutely everything in life.
