Read explanation

Using the future tense after the conjunctions when, before, after, as soon as, till, until, while and expressions the moment, the day, by the time is a common mistake that many foreigners make. It is important to remember that we should use the present, not the future tense in future time clauses. For example, I’ll call you when I get home, It’ll be late by the time we arrive. The exercises on this page will help you practise the tenses in future time clauses.
