Is it possible to use "As" for the future in this mannar?
Hi friends,

Is it possible to use "As" for the future in the following manner? I know that we can use "As" for the past (as explained, as discussed etc.)

e.g.
1) As we will meet on Sunday, I will explain the plan in detail.

2) As we will discuss this in our next meeting, we will be able to come to a conclusion.

Thanks in advance!

Yes ... but
Since the meeting has been arranged, the correct form of the future is the present continuous.

Answer

'as' in this case is a conjunction, similar to 'since' or 'seeing as'.
It has no relation to the tense of the clause.
