Time clauses in English Grammar
The time clauses begin with: when, whenever, while, as, since, after, before, until, as soon as, once.
The time clause may come before or after the main clause with no change in meaning. If they refer to the future, the Simple Present is used in the time clause, andshall/will + infinitive/perfect infinitive or modal + infinitive, or imperative is used in the main clause.
When a complex clause contains a temporal clause, the time clause has future reference. The future is normally indicated by will/shall ('shall' with 'I/we') but not in the subordinate clause.
Exercise 1: before,after, as, as soon as
Exercise 2: which ofthe two conjunctions fits in the gap?
