Complete the actor's anxious text message to his agent by choosing the correct verb form.

"Please call me as soon as the director ______ his final decision about the lead role!"

The correct answer is makes.

In English, adverb clauses of time referring to the future (introduced by words like when, as soon as, before, after, or until) require a present tense verb, not a future tense verb. Even though the director's decision will happen in the future, we use the simple present "makes" after "as soon as."
