I shall certainly "write you", should we use "write to you"?

After when we can not use future tense.

Is it right?

Mustn't it be ''write to you''?

While option C is correct no doubt, and the option B should be write 'to' you.

1. I wrote you a letter.
2. I wrote a letter to you.

Observe the difference and position of the letter (direct object) and you (indirect object).

This one is a time clause example. So after the conjunction 'Where' present simple rule is must.

Rule : 1st clause (Present Simple/ Future Simple) + Conjunction + 2nd Clause (Present Simple).

We don't use 'will' after the time clause (when, until, after). But we can use "will" if sentence means a "promise" or "offer".

'I shall write to you when I reach New Delhi ' is the correct way I think. So there is error in two parts of the sentence.

Correct me, If I am wrong.

I see 2 wrong sentences in this, "write you" should have been replaced with write to you, and when I shall reach"to be replaced with "when I reach".
