[*] 472. The Future denotes an action or state that will occur hereafter.

[*] a. The Future may have the force of an Imperative (§ 449. b).

[*] b. The Future is often required in a subordinate clause in Latin where in English futurity is sufficiently expressed by the main clause:

cum aderit vidēbit, when he is there he will see (cf. § 547).
“sānābimur sī volēmus ” (Tusc. 3.13) , we shall be healed if we wish (cf. § 516. a).

[*] Note.--But the Present is common in future protases (§ 516. a N.).

COMPLETED ACTION: PERFECT TENSE

Perfect Definite and Historical Perfect
