What you learn
- cuando + present for habits: Cuando llego, como
- cuando + flipped form for a moment that hasn't happened yet: Cuando llegues, me avisas
- Three kinds of "when": habit (present), future (flipped), past (preterite / imperfect)
- Gift word: avisar (to let someone know); terminar (to finish)
- Tangent: English also refuses "will" after "when"
Sentences you can say
- Cuando llegues mañana, me avisas.
- Cuando llego, como.
- Cuando termines, llámame.
Watch out for
"Cuando llegas mañana" → it hasn't happened yet, so flip the vowel: Cuando llegues.
