Hello Justin. I have two inquiries please:

1. In the second question of the review, I don't understand why "koşmamış olacak" is a correct choice?? shouldn't the negative form of the future perfect be "koşmuş olmayacak" = " he/she won't have run" instead of "koşmamış olacak"??

2. In the language points part, in the following sentence: "Odunları şimdi kesmek lazım, yaz bitene kadar ancak kurmuş olacaklar."
I think the word "kurmuş" should be "kurUmuş" because "kurumak" means " to dry/ get dry", but "kurmak" means " to set up/ to put together ....etc".is it right or "kurmak" also means "dry"??

3. Is this tense used frequently or rarely???

Thank you very much. :) :)

Hi Hala!

1. Haha, since we started showing answers, we thought we'd make it a little more tricky ;-) Both of those are proper Turkish. "Koşmuş olmayacak" means "I will not have run," whereas "koşmamış olacak" means "I will have not run." Remember that every infinitive has a legitimate negative version: "gelmemek" (to not come), "yazmamak" (to not write).

2. Haklısınız! Thank you.

3. You don't hear this tense extremely frequently, but it isn't obscure or weird in any way. Basically, whenever the context calls for it: "By that time, I will have done something." It's only relatively rare because we don't form sentences like that very regularly.

Merhaba Justin, thanks again for the splendid courses you provide.

In the final exercise I wrote 'Yemek yemiş...' under the impression that the verb of yemek requires something to be eaten, hence the first yemek. Am I being a bit restricted here?

That's a really good point. You're right that adding a leading "yemek" - while not strictly necessary - is probably the better option here. We should have just used a different verb to minimize the number of possible answers. I think I'll change it. Thanks a lot!
