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.
once, immediately, the moment, the minute, the day, by the time ...
- 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 time clause may come before or after the main clause with no change in meaning. However, if the time clause begins a sentence, a comma is placed after it.
- 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.
