4B - Are you a risk taker?

It isn't from the book but I think it is very useful.

When I do/When I’ve done
When and if

Examples:
A: What time will you phone me tomorrow?
B: I’ll phone you when I get home from work.
“I’ll phone you when I get home from work” is a sentence with two parts:
The main part: “I’ll phone you”
And the when-part: “when I get home from work (tomorrow)”

The time in the sentence is future (“tomorrow”) but we use a present tense (get) in the when-part of the sentence.
We do not use will in the when-part of sentence:
-          We’ll go out when it stops raining. (not “when it will stop”)
-          When you are in London again, you must come and see us. (not ”when you will be”)
-          (said to a child) What do you want to be when you grow up? (not “will grow”)
