Dear Friend,

Sometimes i get confused how to use this following sentence:

1.I will give you a call when i get home or
2.I will give you a call when i got home.

Which one is correct word to use.Is it 'get' or 'got'.

Thanks
Nick

Any explanation why get? And why not got?

Because it it a future event. 'Got' is past form.
