Learn Some Confusing English Grammar: Don’t use ‘will’ after ‘When’

[Python69]

Don’t use ‘will’ after ‘When’
Let’s see these examples:
1. What time will you meet me tomorrow?
2. I’ll meet you when I get home from work.
The second sentence is a sentence with two parts:
The main part: “I will meet you”
The when part: “when I get home from work (tomorrow)”
The time in the sentence is future, but we use a present tense (get) in the when part of the sentence.
Don’t use will in the when part of the sentence:
• I will go to English Grammar class when it stops raining. (not “when it will stop”)
• When you are in London again, you must phone me.
The same thing happens after: while, before, after, as soon as, until or till.
• I am going to buy an English Grammar book while I’m on holiday. (not “while I will be”)

Another confusing Grammar:
‘I would rather you did something’. This is not a past tense.

When you want somebody to do something, you can say ‘I’d rather you did something’:
‘Shall I stay here?’ ‘I’d rather you came with us.’
‘Shall I tell them the news?’ ‘No. I’d rather they didn’t know.’
In this structure we use the past (came, did etc.), but the meaning is present or future, not past.
Compare:
• I would rather cook the dinner now.
• But- I would rather you cooked the dinner now. (not ‘I’d rather you cook’)
The negative is ‘I’d rather you didn’t…’:
• I’d rather you didn’t tell anyone what I said about English Grammar.
• ‘Do you mind if I smoke?’ ‘I’d rather you didn’t.
Some times we can’t write many articles or essay correctly. And also we can’t speak English in a correct way because of our lacking in this type of English Grammar. These confusing Grammars make us confused a lot. That’s why I wanted to get some help in confusing English Grammar.
