Hello everyone.

Why do we use present simple in this sentence :
"Free comic books
to anyone who comes with me"
Instead of future simple
"Free comic books
to anyone who will come with me"
Thanks in advance

Mary Petrusevich Why do we use present simple in this sentence :"Free comic booksto anyone who comes with me"Instead of future simple "Free comic booksto anyone who will come with me" You can use either, but the second is not future; it is an expression of will (= decisiveness).

Note that your sentence is only a noun phrase. It is not a complete sentence.

The use of present simple for present and future time is common.
