Exercise 4.-
Look at these extracts from the recording in Listening. Do all the verbs refer
to the future? What tense do we use after time expressions like when?
I’ll move back
into my place when they finish repainting it on Friday.
Next time I
want things like that, I’ll buy them online instead.
What is a
time clause?
Time clauses
are preceded by adverbs or adverb phrases which show that they represent a
time.
Examples of
these adverbs or adverb phrases are: when, before, after, as
soon as, until.
A time clause
shows that an event will happen at a certain time. Although they have a
subject, verb and object, these clauses simply point to a time, similar to
saying "at 7 o'clock".
We use the
present tense to talk about future times.
The future
tense is used in the main clause.
The present
simple tense is used in the time clause.
When two
clauses are joined by adverbs of time or adverb phrases, the future
form should not be repeated.
- Tom will turn off the lights when he leaves the
office.
- Dad will reply to the letter when he
comes home from work.
- I will tidy the living-room before I
go to bed.
- She will go running after it stops raining.
- I will not go home until I
finish the report.
- Jane will call her mother as
soon as she arrives at the airport.
- Tony will call the restaurant the
moment he gets home.
- I'll contact you once I
receive an estimate.
- You will be notified the minute your
order arrives.
- It will be dark by the time we arrive home.
- The moment I hear the doorbell,
I will put on my coat.
- I will put on my coat the
moment I hear the doorbell.
- The day you graduate, your
mother will be very happy.
- Your mother will be very happy the
day you graduate.
