Using Le Futur after "quand" and "pendant que" instead of Le Présent

Bonjour Rosemary !

I understand your reasoning, and it makes sense, however, there is a nuance there in both English and French:

- When she wins, she will be happy.   -> both actions are seen as simultaneous here

Quand elle gagnera, elle sera heureuse.

- When she's won, she'll be happy.   -> here the action of winning precedes the happiness

Quand elle aura gagné, elle sera heureuse.

I hope that's helpful!
Bonne journée !

Bonsoir Sharon,
according to the Collins-Robert the word vaisselle is used singularly but has a plural sense to it.

dishes (= crockery collectively) = la vaisselle 

There are a few other words in French where this is the case.

Merci beaucoup Ron

Bonjour Gomathi, Here is a link to an explanation of concordance des temps: https://french.kwiziq.com/my-languages/french/glossary/132 Now to your question at hand: this phrase is from the lesson ---> «This rule also applies to the expression pendant que (while) WHEN USED in a future context:» You may be asking the reason I quoted this particularly part of the lesson; well, if we take a look at the two words capitalized in the phrase «WHEN USED», this indicates, to me, that there are other possibilities besides the future tense when «pendant que» can be used, i.e. the present perhaps. I am sure that if this is incorrect, either Aurélie or Laura or another of the Kwiziq team members will also post something with the correction. Bonne chance,

Bonjour Vanessa ! Oui, bien sûr ! If you want to test yourself against a specific lesson or set of lessons, you can use our notebook feature. Here's a link to how it works: french.kwiziq.com/faq/notebooks À bientôt !

Bonjour Romulus ! Thank you for letting us know about those bad sound files. We've now updated them. Merci et à bonne écoute !

Bonjour Kenneth ! These are cases where the two actions in the sentence happen simultaneously: When I'm old, I'll have a house. = "Quand je *serai* vieux, j'*aurai* une maison." When one of the action happens before the other one but they are both in the future, you will indeed use the future perfect, or Futur Antérieur: When I've finished my work, I'll have a nap. = "Quand j'*aurai fini* mon travail, je *ferai* une sieste." Have a look at our related lesson: https://french.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/using-le-futur-anterieur-after-quand-lorsque-apres-que-une-fois-que-to-express-when-after-ive-done-in-sentences-in-future-tense I hope that's helpful! À bientôt !

Superb! My understanding now is that, this rule of using Le Futur in both parts of the sentence, including after quand also applies to after pendant que (while) in cases where the two actions in the sentence happen simultaneously.

Does this rule and scenario happen after apres que, lorsque, and une fois que? Or these must properly be followed ONLY by Le Futur Anterieur?

Bonjour Rans !

Actually here is our two lessons related to après que, une fois que...
