[Grammar] What is correct ?

[Mr_Joe]

Dear friends, can you please let me know what is correct ?

1. Please meet me when you come to my town next week.
2. Please meet me when you will come to my town next week.

 

[bhaisahab]

The first one.

'THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE IS USED... To express future time, after some conjunctions: after, when, before, as soon as, until'── quoted from http://www.edufind.com/english-grammar/simple-present-tense/

[Odessa Dawn]

Is the second one correct in Middle English?

 

[emsr2d2]

Hang on, let me jump in my Tardis, pop back to a time when anyone spoke Middle English and ask Chaucer for you! ;-)

 

[Rover_KE]

Are you sure you mean Middle English, OD?

 

[Matthew Wai]

Is it correct to use 'will' in 'Please meet me next week, when you will come to my town'?
May I describe emsr2d2's above post as satirical or sarcastic?
Not a teacher.

 

[emsr2d2]

It was most definitely sarcastic!

 

[Rover_KE]

Mr_Joe, Please note that a better title would have been Please meet me...

Thanks and noted

1. If you will be free this evening, please come here.

2. If you are free this evening, please come here.


So, 2nd one should be correct, isn't it ?

 

[Raymott]

Is it correct to use 'will' in 'Please meet me next week, when you will come to my town'?

No, that is not correct.

 

[Raymott]

So, 2nd one should be correct, [STRIKE]isn't[/STRIKE] shouldn't it ?

Yes, it is.

 

[Matthew Wai]

No, that is not correct.

Then why is 'when you will' correct in the following sentence quoted from another forum?
'By the end of the year, when you will have established your platform and built some security for yourself, you will be free to enjoy the fruits of life.'

Not a teacher.

 

[Rover_KE]

That's different. You cannot separate 'will' from 'have' in the future perfect tense.

 

[Matthew Wai]

'Please meet me next week, when you will have come to my town.'
It is the future perfect tense. Is it OK now?

 

[bhaisahab]

It's not very natural, Matthew. I can't imagine any native speaker saying that.

 

[Tarheel]

'Please meet me next week, when you will have come to my town.'
It is the future perfect tense. Is it OK now?

Instead, say:

Please meet me next week when you come to my town.

[Mr_Joe]

So please tell me ..

I need to say the following with little uncertainty—so I used “Would” there. Is it correct ?

If you would be free this evening, please come here.
