future
Hi,
I know it's incorrect to use 'will' after 'when' for future reference. Supposing I have a friend that is going to travel to the U.S.A next month and I want to ask her if I can continue sending her whatsapps to the same number she uses here. If I say: When you are in the U.S.A. next month, can we continue getting in touch through this number? it sounds strange to me.
Are + next month sounds strange to me. Is this the only possibility I have to express the idea in a correct form?
Thanks in advance!
