Which one is correct?

Hello guys,
I am confusing with this sentence. Please help me. Thanks

1. When you arrive tomorrow, there will be somebody to meet you.
2. When you'll arrive tomorrow, there'll be somebody to meet you.

The first sentence is correct. In English you don't need to use the future tense in the kind of context of "when you arrive."

Thanks Kirk ;)
Maybe I got the sense.

1. When you done next week, I'll phone you.
2. When we go tomorrow, you'll be with us.
3. When he get up next mornning, I,ll go to see him.

<<1. When you done next week, I'll phone you.
2. When we go tomorrow, you'll be with us.
3. When he get up next mornning, I,ll go to see him.>>

Good--you've got the idea. You got the tenses right but I have just a couple corrections I made:

"1. When you're done next week, I'll phone you."

Don't forget the "you're" or "you are" there :)

"3. When he gets up tomorrow morning, I'll go (to) see him."

Here the verb needs to be "gets" as it refers to "he." Also, "tomorrow morning" sounds more natural than "next morning." You can say "I'll go to see him" but the "to" is optional there. I'd likely just say "I'll go see him." Another option is "I'll go and see him."

Number 2 was perfect. :)

Thanks a lot Kirk

I think I haven't repeat previous mistakes :D

1. When new building of musium is built next week, I'll visit it.
2. When you're won the race tomorow moring, I'll be there to see it.
3. When she cleans the windows after 30 minutes, She'll go shoping.
4. When Robert arrives tomorrow, he'll go to a meeting.

1. When the new building of the museum is built next week, I'll visit it.

You need to use "the" because you are talking about a specific building. Also, watch how you spell museum.

2. When you've won the race tomorrow morning, I'll be there to see it.

Again watch your spelling.
You're = You are but here you need to use you have (you've). It would probably be better to say:

When you win the race tomorrow, I'll be there to see it.

3. When she cleans the windows, after 30 minutes, she'll go shopping.

Watch your spelling - especially mind your double letters. I'm not sure about this sentence. It sounds a little strange to me but I can't figure out why, or how to fix it.

Number 4 is fine.

She'll go shopping 30 minutes after she cleans the windows.

Thank you guys :)
Your help is much appreciated.
it's been now eight months when I started to learn english. I hope I'll pay more attention next time
I am not sure what is correct spelling of museum or musium. People use both.

http://www.egyptreservation.com/egyptian_musium.htm
http://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~ncm/english/ncme1.htm
http://wyndmyr.tripod.com/id6.html

But "museum" looks more natural.

Your instincts about "museum" are correct. This is the correct spelling. If you write "musium" we can guess what you mean because we expect you to make small mistakes and can use our imagination. If an english person wrote me a letter saying "I'll meet you at the musium", I might be confused. Maybe "the musium" is a night club! :)

Spelling is always changing so it can be difficult to say what's correct and what's not. At the moment "museum" is so common, and "musium" so rare (I've never seen it), I'd have to say only the first spelling is correct.

Spelling is all about avoiding confusing. (and getting good grades in exams, of course!)

.....i meant to say, spelling is all about avoiding confusion (not confusing). hehe.....although my original post COULD be grammatically correct, i think using the noun "confusion" is less confusing than using the verb "confusing", and now this post has made everything more confusing so I will stop writing now. :D

Hello. I guess the 1st one is right, for this is an adverbial clause of time. in this knid of subordinate clause, the main clause should use simple future tense while the subordinate clause just use the simple present tense.

I have got one more confussion.

1. Have you had any problem when you were on holidays?
2. Had you have any problem when you were on holidays?
3. Did you have any problem when you were on holidays?
MaintiensLeDroit   Mon May 22, 2006 10:23 pm GMT
Close but no cigar I'm afraid.

Did you have any problems when you were on holiday?
Johnathan Mark   Mon May 22, 2006 10:24 pm GMT
"Did you have any problems when you were on holidays?" Is the correct way of saying it, in general. "Have you had" would only start the sentence if the holiday was still going on. "Had you have" never occurs.

Thanks Johnathan Mark :D
Thats explained it.
