Intermediate

Future Time Clauses are dependent clauses in which we use present tenses to talk about the future.
They always contain a time conjunction and join with a main clause which uses a future, or
sometimes an imperative, form. When the Time Clause is at the beginning of a sentence, it is
followed by a comma; but when the main clause is at the beginning, a comma is not required.

A. Use one of the words below in each sentence and circle the correct conjunction.
