Weekend Subjunctive Practice 18: Tan pronto como
Explanation:
Just like the subjunctive is used after cuando when referring to when something happens in the future, it is used after tan pronto como when referring to as soon as something happens in the future. And just like after cuando, the subjunctive is used here without the use of que.
Examples:
Te llamo tan pronto como llegue a casa.
Ill call you as soon as I get home.
