BUILD-A-SENTENCE

Write a sentence using the vocabulary and grammar indicated. Do not use a semi-colon.

There have been some talented participants in recent weeks, so I am putting up a very challenging problem this time:

Write a sentence that begins with a dependent clause in the present perfect tense and an independent clauses in the simple present followed by an independent clause in the simple future and a dependent clause in the simple present.

Good luck!
