Plz. Correct the sentence

Beitrag von Sansy »

 Please suggest which one of the following sentences is correct - 
a) When all your dreams will fade away, I'll still shine as reality! 
b) When all your dreams fade away, I'll still shine as reality!
Is this conditional sentence type 1 that needs to have a grammatical syntax of when + simple present (sub clause) + will (simple future, main clause)? 
Thanks

a) When all your dreams will fade away, I'll still shine as reality! Not really grammatical.
b) When all your dreams fade away, I'll still shine as reality! Yes, yes, yes! :jo:

:watch: As a rule we find the
Present Tense in the subordinate time- or conditional clause
and the
Future Tense in the main clause.

(Exception: "will" meaning "want to" or "be willing to")



Is this conditional sentence type 1 no, it is a time clause, a conditional clause would begin with "if"

that needs to have a grammatical syntax of when + simple present (sub clause) + will (simple future, main clause)? 
Thanks
Have a nice evening!

Hi Sansy :)

Sentence B is correct grammatically, as Duckduck already explained. However, I don't understand the second part of the sentence (what I underlined above). Could you explain what you mean by "as reality"?

Hi Duckduck, thanks a lot for the warm welcome and helping me out with such a great explanation. I totally agree with you.

It seems I need to revise clauses and their rules more meticulously now. ☺️ 

Gratitude and regards,
Sansy
