Is there a future subjunctive in Spanish.
I know there is a future subjunctive in Portuguese, but to my knowledge there is no future subjunctive in Spanish. I found this to be a misleading/inaccurate statement on Paralee Whitmire's Part 1 of the WEIRDO youtube video. Please explin/correct.

SpanishDict users would look here to see what Paralee has written about the future subjunctive ----> Future Subjunctive Tense..
This reference page begins with a caution as follows:
The future subjunctive (el futuro del subjuntivo) is a form rarely used in modern Spanish. In the past it was used in all cases that WEIRDO verb (independent phrase) was in the present or future and referred to a hypothetical future or present action. Nowadays, the present subjunctive takes over all the cases that you would have used the future perfect, but you may still see it in literature or legal documents, so it is good to be able to recognize it.
Do you know this to be untrue, inaccurate, misleading or in need of any correction?
