"when" case
Hi there!
Could anybody give me a hint concerning this one:
"I'll give you the book, when I have read it"..
in this case "when I have read it" is uncomplete action in the future..so one might say "when I'll have read it"??
another extra question:
am I right in this case? - "to get the most out of a trip" is "to get as much profit as one can of a trip"
thanx.

Hello, Bugatti - and welcome to English Forums. -- No, present perfect can indicate both completed and uncompleted actions. It is present perfect progressive that indicates an incomplete action (but it is inappropriate here).
