Temporal Clauses are clauses about time. In a sentence they tell us when something happens, happened or will happen.
They can be past, present or future:
| Temporal Clauses |
I �ll ring you again [before I leave]
David joined the army [after he graduated]
[When you leave], please close the door
I read the newspaper [while I was waiting] | |
