Present tenses in future time clauses | Johnny Grammar | Learn English | British Council

We don't use future tenses with 'when', 'while', 'as soon as', 'until', 'after' or 'before':

When I get home, I'll have dinner.

We use the present continuous, not the future continuous with things which will be in progress in the future:

I'll call you while I'm cooking supper.

In time clauses, we use the present perfect to talk about things which will have finished in the future.

I'll get a good job when I have passed my exams.
