Hi there. Welcome to Harry's World of Words and Phrases and English in a
Minute. Today we're looking at the use of as soon as. as soon as is a conjunction
and it's used when something happens immediately after some other event as
soon as I get home I will give you a call as soon as your father gets home he
will talk to you as soon as I get to work I will finish the report okay so
something happened immediately after something else it's really important
when you use as soon as to use it with the present tense the present simple
okay as soon as I get to work so present tense as soon as your father comes home
present tense you can then follow it with future as soon as your father comes
home he will talk to you as soon as I get to work I will call you but when you
use as soon as always with the present tense it does have a past format and
when you use it in the past or refer to something that happened in the past do
please use the past simple or the past perfect for example as soon as he had
called me so past perfect as soon as he got to work - past simple. okay so you can use
it in the past and you can use it in the present so that's the conjunction as
soon as and as always subscribe to our channel and join us at
