Thread: Past perfective form for future tense?

The only thing I can think of is that you use the past perfective in the future sense when you've already decided something is going to happen.

It can be used only with the verb "пойти".

I'm not convinced about this, because i've seen others used: "Плакала моя головушка", "Плакали мои денежки", "Ну, всё мы погибли"

At the very least, there could also be побежать, поехать, полететь, поплыть, and the same words with the prefix у-.


I am sure there was a similar thread recently.
