3. A time clause can begin with before, after, when, while, or until.

A. Before indicates the second event.
Read the instructions before you start the test.

B. After indicates the first event.
After you finish the test, youshould check it over.

C. When means "at this time."
You can turn in your homework when you leave.

D. While also means "at this time." We use while with a continuous tense. (Informally, we can also use when with a continuous tense.)
