| May 3, 2016 at 6:47 | comment | added | Alan Carmack | Related: is it possible to use the present simple tense with the time marker 'this evening'? | |
| May 3, 2016 at 6:39 | comment | added | Violette | @VarunKN We usually don’t use the future form of the verb in the case, where a clause is introduced by the conjunction “when” (as well as while, till, until, before, after, as soon as and once.) The use of “tomorrow” indicates that this action refers to the future, so the Present Indefinite is correct here. | |
