Soon after Rahsed has finished his thesis, he will leave for Dhaka, where he has a job waiting on him.
What is wrong with the sentence?
It should be “waiting for him”.
Is the meaning of “soon after” recently?
“Soon after” simply means “shortly after” or “within a short time after”.
I don’t understand why perfect present tense is used in the first clause whereas ‘will’ is used in the second clause. Does below sentence sound correct?
Soon after Rahsed finishes his thesis, he will leave for Dhaka, where he has a job waiting for him.
Justin
Both the present simple (finishes) and the present perfect (has finished) would be all right in that sentence.
Alan
He returned home and soon after started to cook.
Is “soon after” correctly used here?
You would get away with it collquially, but really it ought to be:
He returned home, and soon afterwards (he) started to cook.
He started to cook soon after he arrived home.
