grammarpresent-participlestense

Which of the following is correct?

  • I will update you once I reached my home.
  • I will update you once I reach my home.
  • I will update you after I reaching my home.

Best Answer

Among the three samples you have provided, the middle one is correct:

I will update you once I reach my home.

The first one is wrong because you are mentioning there that you'll do something in the future after you do something in past(which of course doesn't make sense).

Same situation arises in the third one.

Again, as @StoneyB mentions:

get is a much better choice here.
