Time Clauses

[126]

Are these sentences correct?

We'll make tea when the water has boiled.
Perhaps I should write We'll make tea when the water boils.
Some other examples:
We must eat something before the lesson begins.
I'll go home as soon as I've finished my lessons.
I'll find a job after I finish my study.

I think they are correct
In time clause, we use the Present Tense and Past Tense

[lucalita009]

We'll make tea when the water is boiled.

I don't think we should use Passive Voice here

We'll make tea when the water is boiled.

I don't think so. I can't use passive with these sentences.

I think they are correct
In time clause, we use the Present Tense and Past Tense

I have to use Present Perfect or Present Simple. In all my examples only one of these tenses is correct! I don't know when I should use Present Simple and when I should use Present Perfect - that's my problem.

Anyway, thanks for answers.

We'll make tea when the water has boiled.

Both are correct, but have a slightly different meaning? Can you have a go at seeing the difference?

tedmac:
We'll make tea when the water is boiled.

Good sentence to use if there's a cholera outbreak!
Anyone see what this sentence actually means?!

[126]

Thank you, but could you explain a difference between these sentences?

[David L.]

Anyone like to have a go?

Let's see if there are any adventurous souls.

If anyone explains me a difference, I'll be very happy.
