Changed Title and Tags to refer to adverb, not verb.

| Mar 2, 2015 at 16:35 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @anemone: OP already has a verb ("mentioned"). So any word that goes before it pretty much has to be an adverbial form in order to modify the verb. | |
| Mar 2, 2015 at 16:32 | comment | added | anemone | @FumbleFingers Isn't OP asking for a verb, though? And I'd say "you will have done st." does express a fair level of certainty... | |
| Mar 2, 2015 at 16:26 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @anemone: Regardless of whether you use simple past or future perfect (or even simple present), nothing about that would particularly imply anticipatory, which OP is specifically interested in. | |

| Mar 2, 2015 at 16:19 | comment | added | anemone | I'd say "as you will have mentioned". | |
| Mar 2, 2015 at 16:16 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | You need an adverbial form, but idiomatically it's not really credible to say "as you predictively mentioned" (and foreshadowingly is a complete no-no, obviously). You might consider portentiously, but that generally carries connotations of ominously predicting. Besides which it's a bit "stuffy" (as would be presagiously, presagefully, prefiguratively). | |
| Mar 2, 2015 at 16:08 | comment | added | Andrew Leach♦ | ...as you previously mentioned, perhaps. | |
