Après que + le futur antérieur or après que + l'indicatif
Hi Ron,
Sorry about the delay in answering your question.
Le Futur antérieur is an indicative tense.
In those examples you have to use it as you are talking about two actions in the future .
After/once you have done this, you will do that.
One action precedes the other and takes the 'futur antérieur'.
In French ( unlike English) words like 'quand', 'lorsque' are followed by a future tense.
Hope this helps!
Sherry is correct. We say When I have finished because the 'when' tells you its in the future. when I will have finished is a tautology. I think thats true for all english verbs. I cant think of an example where it isnt.
