3.3 Tense & Aspect (10 points)
For each of the following sentences, indicate whether the Topic Time (TT) precedes, follows or is the same as (=) the Utterance Time (TU), and whether the Situation Time (SitT) contains the Topic Time, or the other way around. You can write this using angled brackets (< for precedes) or the equals sign (=) to indicate the order of TT and TU, and subset symbols (c) to describe the inclusion of SitT and TT or you can write your answer in text. For example, for the sentence “I was sleeping when Marie arrived.” you can say: the topic time is included in the situation time, and the situation time is before the Utterance Time, or: TTcSitT, TT<TU
(27) I’ll be cooking when you arrive.
