when + Subject + Verb + ing

Does this sentence make sense?
"When / If it's raining tomorrow, I'll stay at home."
And do you normally use < when Subject + verb + ing > to express a thing happening in the future??
  

Top answer

The sentence makes sense all right, but I would prefer: If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay [at] home. CB

Thank you for your quick reply, Cool Breeze!!

If you don't mind, would you give me a valid example using < when + S + Ving > to express the future?

I can't think of one at the moment but I'm not saying it's impossible

I'll ask another question below regarding this topic.

I happened to hear that a text book says that this sentence is wrong.
"I will have done the work when you are coming (to my place)."
However, I don't think it's wrong. What do you think?
