This Diploma thesis investigates the form and meaning of time clauses in present written English. The thesis focuses mainly on the area of time conjunctions, the mode and frequency of their application and it refers to stylistic preferences of certain conjunctions. The Diploma thesis deals with rendering of real time relations by particular conjunctions, semantic and grammar limitations of using some conjunctions with some predicates{\crq} forms of main or subordinate clauses, using of tenses and their behaving in sequence of tenses. Diploma thesis sets itself an aim to point out some exceptions of using rules and show some examples of using time clauses functioning as different types of subordinate clauses. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on study of relevant literature, the practical part then is based on my own investigation for which the present written materials made by native speakers from different styles to represent both the formal and the informal English (novels, academic prose and newspapers) were used.
