TANT QUE

emre y.A1Kwiziq community member

Hi, I saw a dialogue in tv series Better Call Saul. It was "I am not telling you anything until we talk about my dad " and French translation is "Je ne te dirai rien tant qu'on n'aura pas parlé de mon père.. What I want to ask is why "parlé" is used instead of "parler", why passé composé form is used in this sentence after future tense of avoir.

Thank you.

Bonjour Emre,

"n'aura pas parlé" is in Le Futur Antérieur rather than Le Passé Composé (n'a pas parlé)

Take a look here:

Conjugate regular -er, -ir, -dre verbs (+ avoir) in the future perfect in French (Le Futur Antérieur)

Le Futur Antérieur (Indicatif)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
