Expressing future with time expressions (after, as soon as, before, till, whenever, while ... )
The time clauses in the English language are introduced by conjunctions such as after, as soon as,before, till, until, when, whenever, while or time expressions such as the minute, the moment etc.
We do not use the future tense (will) in a time clause to describe future activities (in this respect,it it similar to if clauses).

Existen 3 tipos de "Time Clauses". Los dos primeros no suelen plantearnos dificultades.
a) Past Time Clauses: en las que tanto la oración subordinada como laprincipal de la que aquélla
forma parte se refieren al pasado: When I got home, I phoned the shop (Cuando llegué a casa, llamé a la tienda).

b) Present Time Clauses: en las que ambas oraciones hacenreferencia al presente.

c) Future Time Clauses: en las que, a pesar de que el verbo de la "time clause" hace referencia al futuro, no irá en ningún caso conjugado en futuro simple (will + infinitivo)sino en presente simple (con algunas excepciones en las que puede aparecer en "present perfect", y de las que nos ocuparemos en otra ocasión)

Vamos a ver algunos ejemplos de este último tipo:

-When (cuando): Pay no attention to him when you get home.

- Before (antes de): Should I tell her before she leaves?

- After (después de): After you get to work, drink a glass of water

- Until/ Till (hasta): I won't leave until you tell me.

- As soon as (tan pronto como / en cuanto): As soon as I hear from her, I' ll give you a telephone call.
