englishlearner, you must ask unrelated questions in separate threads, with a title specific to each — such as 'We needed many office stuffs'.

'Thread titles should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.'

Tdol's answer, post #9, is the one you want. A present tense, simple, progressive or perfect, is appropriate in a temporal clause referring to a future situation.
