Future and Future Perfect Tenses

[joshthewriter.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone!

I have a question in regards to tenses in Russian. I am trying to practice them based on this website:

http://masterrussian.com/blverbtable.shtml

From what I remember of English Grammar, the tenses work something like this:

• Past Perfect: "He had cooked".
• Past Simple: "He cooked".
• Present Perfect: "He has cooked".
• Present Simple: "He cooks".
• Future Perfect: "He will have cooked".
• Future Simple: "He will cook".

So for instance the last two tenses in Russian would be written as:

• Он приготовит
• Он будет готовить

What I want to understand is do these two tenses have the same meanings and implications in Russian as in English? As in the first case implying "he will have cooked" meaning he will then be free to pursue other activities, whereas with "he will cook" there are no such implications and the emphasis is on the fact that he will be cooking at some time in the future? Всем спасибо!
