Would you lend me the book when you read it
I'd be happy if someone would answer my question concerning sentence A and B. Thanks in advance.
A: Would you lend me the book when you read it?
B: Let's go for a walk when we eat lunch.
I think A is bad, because it's unclear how far you read the book, so "have read" should be used instead of "read". Am I right?
Similarly, I think in B "eat" is wrongly used and "have eaten" should be used. Am I right?
