I forgot to say it when I presented Narbonósc conjunctions, but it's the same in this language too: subjunctive is used to express future or prospective in subclauses of time. As Narbonósc possesses both a subjunctive present and a subjunctive future, it can use both in this case (the subjunctive future giving a nuance of prospectivity, while the subjunctive present is used with simple future actions).

Funny, the other ones look more Spanish, while this one is more French :) . Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr
