1254Temporal clauses  

ENTRY TERMS

  • Clauses of time

SCOPE NOTE

  • Temporal clauses are introduced by particles which are almost all of relative origin. They are construed like other relative clauses, except where they have developed into special idiomatic constructions. They begin with 'when', 'whenever', 'while', 'as', 'since', 'after', 'before', 'until', 'as soon as', 'once'. The time clause may come before or after the main clause with no change in meaning. If they refer to the future, the Simple Present is used in the time clause, and shall/will + infinitive/perfect infinitive or modal + infinitive, or imperative is used in the main clause.
