Why prèsent is used not futur
tu me préviendras s'ils arrivent en retard, why prèsent is used not futur after s'ils
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Sumesh,
It is a classic case of -
Si + present ------> future tense
Si tu viens, on ira au parc = If you come, we will go to the park
S'ils arrivent en retard, tu me préviendras = If they arrive late, you'll let me know
Although in the last example the order of the clauses in inverted which probably caused your confusion.
Hope this helps
