Hello,

I just would like to learn whether we can use 'until/till' with present con. tense and past con. tense or not.

For example:

I'm waiting for you until the end of the world.
I was waiting for you until morning.

Thanks....

Thanks for the answer. Does it comprise 'the future con. tense' too ?

-I will be waiting for you till morning.

Or does it require 'future perfect con. tense' ?

"I will be waiting for you till morning" is fine.
