After when, before, after, until and as soon as, English uses the present tense for a future action. Only the main half takes will.
The shape
when / before / after / until / as soon as + PRESENT, will + verb
Talk about two future things without saying "will" twice.
In Hindi
when, before, after, until और as soon as के बाद आगे की बात भी present tense में कही जाती है। will सिर्फ़ मुख्य हिस्से में आता है।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
When I will reach, I will call you. | When I reach, I will call you. After "when" the future is written in the present tense. |
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
When I arrive, I will call is a CEFR B1 structure — the independent band — and it belongs to tenses. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
