Questions & Answers about Al nostro arrivo, la ragazza sarà già andata alla dogana.
Why do we use sarà (from essere) instead of avrà (from avere) for the future perfect here?
Because the main verb is andare (to go), which is a verb of motion. Just like in the passato prossimo (present perfect), verbs that indicate movement from one place to another take essere as their auxiliary (helping) verb in all compound tenses, including the futuro anteriore.
Why does the past participle end in "-a" (andata)?
Why is già placed right in the middle of sarà and andata?
Why do we use al in Al nostro arrivo to mean "Upon our arrival"?
