We often use By the time to show that the action in the main clause happened before the action in

the time clause. Example: By the time they arrive, the concert will have started.

Choose the right option.

a. will go b. go c. have gone

• When we speak about future events, we use the present tense after conjunctions of time. Actually, they work exactly the same as 1st Conditional clauses.

• The Present Perfect Simple in the time clause emphasizes the completion of the event and the Present continuous emphasizes that the action is in progress.

• Time clauses can come at the beginning or end of sentences. Use a comma [pic] when the time clause begins the sentences.

Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs.

1. As soon as I _____________________ (get) there, I _____________________ (phone) for a taxi.

2. When technology _____________________ (improve), more people _______________________ (be able) to travel to space.

5. Before we _____________________ (go) to bed, we _________________________ (have) a nice cup of hot chocolate.
