Graduate
How long will you have been studying when you graduate?
please tell me why "graduate" rather than "graduated"?
Top answer
We use simple present tense in time clause and condition clause. Example: I will inform him when he returns (and not will return ). In your sentence, you are referring to future, and so you can't use past " graduated ".
