The future in time clauses (when?) and if-clauses 

In time clauses with words like when, after, until we always use present tense forms to talk about the future:
I'll come home when I finish work.(Present!!!!) = Voi veni cand VOI termina treaba. FARA WILL !!!!
You must wait here until your father comes.

In clauses with if we often use present tense forms to talk about the future:
We won't be able to go out if it is raining.
If Barcelona lose tomorrow, they won’t be champions. (team, police, audience, family….)

In propozitiile de timp (cele care raspund la intrebarea Cand?) NU se foloseste niciodata viitorul (cu will) ci doar
PRESENT!

1. Voi veni cand voi avea timp = I’ll come when I have time. (present!!!!)

La fel, in propozitiile conditionale (introduse prin IF=daca) :

2. Voi veni daca imi voi termina temele = I’ll come if I finish my homework. (present!!!)

! Nu stiu daca voi veni. = I don’t know if I’ll come.
