[FONT="]Dear English teacher:[/FONT]
[FONT="]Which one is correct?[/FONT]
[FONT="]A. we will get there as soon as you will [/FONT]
[FONT="]B. we will get there as soon as you do.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I had always thought that: [/FONT][FONT="]“Simple present tense” is used after [if, as soon as, as, when, after, before, once] to express future meaning. But then“practical English usage” by Michael Swan, says both are correct.[/FONT]
[FONT="]There is another sentence I came across regarding this topic:[/FONT]
[FONT="] When he will arrive is nobody’s guess. Shouldn’t it be “when he arrives is nobody’s guess?[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]A detailed answer will be appreciated [/FONT]
[FONT="]Thanks[/FONT]
