2. When you finish studying, you will go abroad.

3. When you finished cooking, you will do some cleaning.

4.When you finished studying, you will go abroad.

My question is whether the -ed form is correct too.

I know for sure it is incorrect to say, for example, 'did you finished cooking?'.
It should be 'did you finish cooking?'

Hi Doll,

A small piece of advice.

I say 'dear' like this to my wife and to small children. Not to anyone else.
