Can anyone tell me the difference between the following sentences please?
(1) Please report to the office after you finish your work.
(2) Please report to the office after you have finished your work.
My guess is that in the second sentence there is more emphasis on the completion of the work whereas the first one just signifies the time. I could be totally wrong, but is there a difference between the use of simple present tense and present perfect tense with time clauses.
Thanks!
