What is the meaning of the “will already have….” structure?

I am wondering about the meaning of a sentence which includes the “will already have….” structure?
The exact sentence is a part of IELTS practice test which says:

” ….in today’s tutorial we’re going to discuss the essays that you have to submit by the end of next week. Some of you will have already started them,… “.

Tnx

Answer

That is simply a declarative clause in the Future Perfect tense.

The formula is : Subject will have Perfect Participle (Complement).

Some of you will have already started them,

you==subject

will + have = future perfect auxiliary verbs

started== principle verb(in its past participle form).

them== Complement-> Direct Object.

already= just an adverb->Adjunct .

And as exactly stated in your sentence by the end of next week.
Future Perfect is usually used when an action takes place before another in the future.

This website is quite comprehensive when it comes to tense.
