Make sure that you have unplugged the iron before you leave.
You want to say that, in the future, the iron should be unplugged, and then you should leave.
We have 2 different systems for showing whether things in the future are simultaneous (they happen at the same time) or sequential (they happen one after the other)
A. Prepositions. after/once=sequential ; while=simultaneous ; when=ambiguous
B. Tenses. present perfect (have/has verbed)=sequential ; present continuous (is/am/are verbing)=simultaneous ; present simple=ambiguous
SO:
I will sing while he sings= I will sing when he is singing= I will sing while he is singing= simultaneous. We both sing at the same time in the future.
I will sing after/once he has sung= I will sing when he has sung=I will sing after/once he sings=sequential. He will sing, and then he will finish singing, and then I will start to sing
He will sing when I sing= ambiguous. It could be either sequential or simultaneous
He will sing after/once I am singing=He will sing while I have sung= impossible nonsense
