problem with future tense

[aachu]

I know it is incorrect to say "When you will come,we shall visit the zoo".

The correct sentence will be like,
"when you come,we shall visit the zoo"
But I don't know the rule.Could any kindly explain the rule?

And,can I also say?
"when you come,we would visit the zoo"

 

[aachu]

similarly,is the following sentence correct?

"when I can read,when teachers teach me,I would not fail in any exam"

There is no future tense in English, though there are several ways of expressing futurity.

In temporal and conditional clauses referring to future-time situations, we normally use a present tense:

When you arrive, we'll go to the zoo.
If you have finished by seven, we'll be able to catch the bus.
While they're doing the written test, I'm going to set up the recorders for the orals.

You cannot say, "When you come,we would visit the zoo".

How about post #3, above?

If you are interested in a fairly detailed, and rather dull, look at how we express futurity in English, try this: http://www.gramorak.com/Articles/Future.pdf

Leave a space after a full stop or a comma.

Yeah, I've just checked it. They won't open. There might be a technical problem. Try this way now.
