I've some questions I would be most pleased if you guys help(ed) me. Well, my first question is about when. if i use when, i can not use will afterwards right? are not there cases in which we use will after when? if there are, please tell me about them. My sceond question is about if. i've seen some cases in which people have used if --> have is it correct? my finale question (are you still here? if you are, i thank you :] )is umm how do i phrase it..well its about past perfect. ive been having trouble with it! it aint that easy as it sounds.. were talking about an action that occured before another. so why can't i say something like i knew he had been at your place or i heard that he had been killed ive never heard people talk like this. they usually say it with the same tense. thanks i hope i didnt make it too hard on you.. ben

let's have a look

1. I suppose you're asking about cases where the word "when" is used in time clauses. In such cases future forms are never used but rather become present forms. For example: I will see him tonight. I will tell him to call you. When I see him tonight I will tell him to call you. However, strictly speaking there are other constructs where "will" may follow "when". For example: I don't know when I will see him next. 2. Not sure I understand the question. 3. People used the Past Perfect all the time. At least in the UK they do. The Past Perfect is the past equivalent of BOTH present perfect and past simple. So: I have read the book -> I had read the book before I saw the film. I read the book yesterday -> I had read the book the day before I saw the film.​
