1."gets"(c)
After 'when' referring to the future, use present simple — NOT 'will'. 'She' is third person singular → 'gets'.
2."stops"(a)
After 'until', use present simple for future reference: 'until the rain stops'. Never use 'will' after time conjunctions.
3."finishes"(b)
'As soon as' follows the same rule: present simple for future events. 'The meeting' is singular → 'finishes'.
4."returns"(b)
After 'after' (time conjunction), use present simple: 'after Dad returns'. The result clause uses 'will': 'We'll eat'.
5."leave"(a)
After 'before', use present simple: 'Before you leave'. The result clause uses an imperative: 'make sure to lock'.
