QUAND + FUTURE
Notes: 1. "Quand" + future implies simultaneity between the verbs in the two clauses. In French, these verbs are both in the future tense, whereas English uses two different tenses: "Quand j'aurai un emploi, je serai marié." "Quand I have a job, I will be married." 2. "Quand" + future anterior, implies that the action (the verb following "quand') precedes the action signified by the verb in the other clause: "Quand il aura reçu son diplôme, il cherchera un emploi": "When he has graduated, he will look for a job."
3. "après que" can be used only with the future anterior: "Après qu'il aura fini ses devoirs, il se couchera."
4. "pendant que" and "tandis que"can be used only with the simple future in both clauses: "Je travaillerai tandis qu'elle regardera la télévision." EXERCISES:
