---
clause: a group of words with a subject and verb
time clause: a clause that tells us about the time when something happens

After I got home, I made dinner. (past)
After I get home, I always make dinner. (present)
After I get home, I will make dinner. (future)

* After I will get home... (WRONG) - don't use future grammar in time clauses

While I am washing the dishes, she will cook dinner.

Time clauses begin with words like: after, before, by the time, while, when, until/til, as, since

When the time clause comes first, use a comma before the main clause.
              Do not use a comma  when the time clause comes last.
