Tense with highly optimistic hope (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
future perfect
'tense with highly optimistic hope' is the definition.
'future perfect' can be an answer for 'tense' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'with highly optimistic hope' bit.
'tense with highly optimistic' is the wordplay.
'tense' becomes 'future' (future is a kind of tense).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'highly optimistic' becomes 'perfect' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'future'+'perfect'='FUTURE-PERFECT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for future perfect that I've seen before include "attitude of very optimistic forecaster" , "Tense describing actions that will be completed" , "Utopian prospect" , "will have been used as an example" , "with idealistic expectation?" .)
