 63. Imperative sentences 

• Incorrect: See that you will come for the meeting in time. 

• Correct: See that you come for the meeting in time.

 • Incorrect: Take care that you will not be cheated. 

• Correct: Take care that you are not cheated. 

It is wrong to use future tense in the subordinate clause when the verb in the main clause is in the imperative mood. 

In such clauses, the simple present should be used instead of the simple future.
