Is there anything wrong with these sentences?
Vorrò essere andato a scuola.
Vorrò andare a scuola.
How do you render the future perfect tense in Italian?

3The first does not exist (a double infinitive makes no sense, did you possibly mean "Vorrò essere andato a scuola" ?)– martinaJan 4, 2014 at 17:17

Yes verb to "be" or to have +past participle = perfect in english.– md nthJan 4, 2014 at 17:31

1You already got replies to your question, but I would like to remark that the first sentence, even if correct, sounds weird to me. I am unable to imagine a situation in which it may sound appropriate.– gd1Jan 4, 2014 at 21:46

3@gd1: Let me see... “Adesso non mi importa niente della scuola, e non ci voglio andare di certo. Ma un giorno, quando avrò bisogno di un diploma, vorrò esserci andato”. Ok, not the most natural of sentences: I gave it a try.– DaGJan 4, 2014 at 23:20

Yes, there is such a tense, and it is called in Italian futuro anteriore.

@KyriakosKyritsis: Would you consider it to be an answer now that I rephrased it to answer to the OP's question (“Is there a tense for future perfect?”)? As for “What's wrong...”, it was already answered by Martina, and edited in the question.– DaGJan 4, 2014 at 21:33
