Which sentence is correct?


Hello,
today I wrote English exams for High school and there was this exercise. Therefore, I have a question on 6.3. Which sentence is correct:
-You must come to visit me when I will decorate my room.
-You must come to visit me when I decorate my room.
I thought that there should be used future simple (will decorate), but according to not official answers "decorate" is correct. If it should be "decorate", I would be grateful for explaining why.

I think this is something you simply have to learn: with this sense of "when", the present tense, not the future tense, is used -- even though the event described

Selu-You must come to visit me when I will decorate my room.
-You must come to visit me when I decorate my room.
decorate is correct. Do not use will in an adverbial when-clause. This includes all those many cases where the when clause describes a situation in the future which triggers the action in the main clause
