Questions & Answers about Habremos colonizado la galaxia con las naves que construimos.
How is the future perfect 'will have colonized' formed here?
It is made of two parts: habremos, which is the future tense of the helper verb haber (meaning 'we will have'), and colonizado, the past participle of the verb colonizar ('colonized'). Together, they form the future perfect tense to talk about an action that will be completed before a certain point in the future.
Should colonizado change to colonizada to match the feminine word la galaxia?
No. When you use a past participle like colonizado with the verb haber to form compound tenses, it always ends in -o. It never changes to match the gender or number of the subject or the object.
Wait, doesn't construimos mean 'we build' in the present tense? Why is it translated as 'we built'?
Does the word naves only mean spaceships?
The word nave broadly translates to 'vessel' or 'craft.' It can refer to large ships on the water, but in a context about the galaxy, it is automatically understood as a shortened version of naves espaciales (spaceships).
