Aren't we suppose to use the futur anterieur in this sentence? Après avoir fini ma dissertation, je commencerai mes révisions

Hi Jenk,

It is because of 'Après' which is followed by a past infinitive in French.

If you change to 'quand' you will indeed use the futur antérieur :

'Quand j'aurai fini ma dissertation, je commencerai mes révisions.'

Bonne continuation!
