As soon as we are/have been corrected
Hello,
Please are both of these possible? And if so, what is the difference?
A, I'll have a look at it as soon as we have been connected to Internet again.
B, I'll have a look at it as soon as are connected to Internet again.
Thank you.

In my opinion both sentences are correct if you add an article: the internet. You can capitalise internet , but I think most people don't do that any more. Speakers of English like everything short, so I think most of them would prefer sentence B, which refers to the state of things rather than the action.

Guren Firippu I think this is incorrect.It is correct, as CB said
Guren FirippuI learned from my studies that after these expressions(conjunctions I guess): "as soon as, until, if, when" we use either the simple past or simple present tenses.That is not correct. We can, and often do, use the present perfect after these wor

Really? This is so new to me. Thank you so much fivejedjon. I'll do my research then and study more about 'as soon as' + (has/have + PP) or (has/have + been + PP). Also, if you didn't mind, could you give me references I can study for this structure? I'm really interested to learn it. It would be so much appreciated.

I am away from my home and library, Guren Firippu, so I can't give any references at the moment.
The system, however, is fairly straightforward. When there is a general- or past-time reference, any appropriate tense can be used after time conjunctions. When there is a future-time reference, we generally use a present tense (simple, progressive or perfect).

That's okay fivejedjon. This piece of information is already a lot of help. I'll take note of this.

When there is a future-time reference, we generally use a present tense (simple, progressive or perfect).
