I encountered a very interesting phenomenon when reading.
Here is the sentence that drew my immediate attention:
'I will be on holiday till the end of November, when I will return to London.'
I thought 'will' was never used with time conjunctions like when, after, before
and until. While doing some research on this, I learned that 'will' can be used after
'when' meaning 'and then'.
Is this really good to use 'will', even if 'when' means 'and then'?
What about this sentence:
I will prepare a lot of good food, when we have a party tonight.
Could this sentence also be put like this?
'I will prepare a lot of good food, when we will have a party tonight.' meaning
'I will prepare a lot of good food, and then we will have a party tonight.'
