"What is the FIRST thing you will do AS SOON AS you wake up in 2046?"

Discuss with your partner. Will you ask if there are flying cars? Will you check your social media? Will you ask if GTA VI was finally released?

Play Audio Log #402
SUBJECT: Bob D.
EXPERIMENT: 20-Year Cryosleep

Bob accepted to take part in a scientific experiment. He will take a pill that will make him sleep for 20 years. Bob will take the pill tomorrow night.

Before he takes the pill, he will say goodbye to his mother and his girlfriend. As soon as he takes the pill, his mother will cover him with a warm blanket and close the box.

After he takes the pill, he will have a few minutes to think about what he is going to do when he wakes up.

When he falls asleep, the scientists will take him to a secure laboratory.

Fast forward 20 years: As soon as he wakes up, he will push a button to open the container. When he gets out of the door, the scientists will examine him to see how he is. After they examine him, he will take a shower and eat some real food.

🧠 The Golden Rule (Grammar)

How do we connect two future events correctly?

When we talk about a sequence of events in the future, we use two parts: The Main Action and the Time Trigger.

Main Action (WILL) + Time Word + Condition (PRESENT SIMPLE)
WHEN (Cuando) BEFORE (Antes de) AFTER (Después de) AS SOON AS (Tan pronto como)

✔️ Correct Structure

The verb directly after the time word must be in the PRESENT.

  • He will say goodbye before he takes the pill.
  • As soon as he wakes up, he will push a button.
🚨 FATAL ERROR AVOIDANCE:
NEVER put "will" immediately after the time words (when, before, after, as soon as).
Wrong: I will call you when I will arrive.
✔️ Correct: I will call you when I arrive.

🧩 Practice 1: The Code Breaker

Level 1 (Easy): Join the two sentences choosing the correct grammar.
Codes Broken: 0 / 5
1. I will have lunch. I finish this report. (AFTER)
2. She will play with us. She finishes her homework. (AS SOON AS)
3. She will take her piano lesson. She watches TV. (BEFORE)
4. They will take a shower. They get back home. (AFTER)
5. They will go to the movies. They leave the office. (WHEN)

✍️ Practice 2: The Future Log

Level 2 (Intermediate): Complete the sentences using your imagination.

Remember to use the correct tense! If the first part has WILL, the second part needs Present Simple.

🗣️ Practice 3: The Welcome Committee

Level 3 (Advanced): Plan the awakening ceremony for Bob!

Scenario: It is the year 2046. Bob the Time Traveler is arriving in Guatemala City. The President has appointed you to organize his welcoming ceremony.

📋 The Planning Meeting

Work in groups. Plan the sequence of events using will and time clauses. Answer these questions:

  • What will happen before he arrives?
  • What will the President do when Bob opens the pod?
  • What will Bob eat as soon as he touches Guatemalan land?

🎤 The Press Conference

Present your plan to the class. Use the grammar perfectly!

"Before Bob arrives, the band will play music. As soon as he opens the pod, we will give him a plate of Pepián!"

⏳ Time Travel Successful!

You have mastered the timeline of the future.

The Final Countdown:

What is the fatal error you must NEVER commit with time clauses like when and as soon as?
