Quand is an indicator of futur anterieur, when quand is used with simple, isn't next tense is anterieur?
My mentor taught it something like that..

Not sure why de not des.  The cited lesson suggests it should be des.

Re Daniel E’s post and responses below

I’m finding the use of the subjunctive past for future actions unexpectedly tricky, I think because the English "I need to leave by nine" or "they need us to arrive", already includes the idea of a completed future action (you can’t leave without having left or arrive without having arrived!)

Is the subjunctive present ever an option in this type of sentence or is the subjunctive past mandated?

If I am sure about which salad I am eating, I would still say 'Je mange de la salade,' 'Je mange une salade,' or 'Je mange la salade.' What is the difference?

Why "fin janvier" but not "a la fin de janvier"

Is the pronunciation of vont a bit odd in this phrase ?
