    This document discusses ways to talk about future plans and predictions using different verb tenses. It explains that when using words like "if", "when", "after", or "before" to talk about the future, the simple present tense is used to describe the condition or time period even though referring to a future event. For example, saying "if he gets married, he will move to Paris" rather than "if he will get married". The document also notes some exceptions to this rule and provides examples of using future tense with words like "will" and "going to" for plans and decisions already made.
