As we are doing translation practice here and we can check our mistakes here and correct it at a same time.....and if we have another document to translate and we do translation of that document at that time how would we know, it's right or wrong and if it's wrong then how can we correct it????

Why is the future perfect used in this sentence: "Mais personne mieux que Claude Nougaro n'aura incarné..."?
Would present tense not work here?
I love the twist at the end, I thought she was the student ha ha ha ;)
