WRITING. TIME ( A when B ) and SEQUENCE ( A , B , C , ... , n)

WRITING A FORMAL LETTER
Ex. 88. Study the table.

I’ll phone my uncle when I get home. When you have finished, you can go home. As soon as I get home, I’ll phone my uncle. You can go home as soon as you have finished.	Mind the position of the clause and the tenses used. As soon as suggests a more immediate action.
Pat wrote / was writing some letters while I cooked / was cooking the dinner. Pat was writing some letters. Meanwhile, I cooked / was cooking the dinner. The man slipped (just)as he got off / was getting off the train. Just as I sat down, the phone rang.	When two things happen at the same time we use while or as / just as in case of short actions. Meanwhile always begins the next sentence and is used to introduce a parallel action.
We had something to eat before we went out. After we’d returned from the trip, we decided to have a party.	Cf: We had something to eat before going out / the show. After returning from the trip / the trip we decided to have a party.

Ex. 89. Fill the gaps with the words from the box.

when as soon as while (just) as

after before meanwhile

I’ll call you …….. arrive in Rome.
He had been out of work for some time ……. he managed to find a part-time job.

Sequence of actions or events

Then / After that we drove down to the Italian Riviera and stayed in Portofino for a week. Finally, we went back to Switzerland and visited some old friends in Lucerne.

If one action happens soon after the other we often use afterwards in place of after (that):

First of all we met the others for a meal, and afterwards we went

to the disco.

If you want to say that something happened after a lot of time and/or a lot of problems, you can use eventually or in the end:

The traffic was awful, and we took several wrong turnings, but

eventually / in the end we got there.

Ex. 91. Cross out the incorrect answers. Sometimes both answers are correct.
