Solution

Correct answer: you reach

Key points:

Rule: In time clauses introduced by words like "as soon as", "when", "until", "no sooner", etc., use the simple present to refer to a future event in the subordinate clause. The main clause uses the future (will + verb).

• Correct sentence: John will come to pick you up as soon as you reach the airport.

• Why "you have reached" is not best: The present perfect emphasizes completion and is not the standard form used in time clauses for a simple future sequence; the simple present is required here.

• Why "you reached" is wrong: The past simple cannot be used to refer to a future sequence introduced by "as soon as."

• Why the original "you will reach" is wrong: Do not use "will" in the subordinate time clause; omit "will" and use the simple present instead.

Quick tip: Pattern = "Main clause with will" + ", as soon as" + "subordinate clause in simple present".
