Is the sentence correct?

Hello!

"The sooner you tell me, the sooner I can help you." ???

All I am not sure about is which modal verb use.
What do you think?

thanks in advance

Can can refer to the future, so there's nothing wrong with your sentence. You could also say: ... the sooner I'll be able to help you.

Thank you Cool Breeze!
That was exactly what I wanted to know - whether it refers to the future.
