Tony M Jul 8, 2017:
@ BDF By a process of painful extraction, we are discovering that this whole swathe of questions are in fact about song lyrics; as such, the context and connection with surrounding text are of course quite different.
B D Finch Jul 8, 2017:
Context? Without more context, it's impossible to know whether Ney Ney is right about it being "enter", not "answer". Is the place heaven? What does "it" refer back to?

Quand j'entrerai dans cet endroit, je chanterai ses louanges

It has to be "enter" and not "answer".

In this case, it is "Quand j'entrerai dans cet endroit, je chanterai ses louanges".
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : It doesn't "have to be" at all — in the context of song lyrics, 'answer' is both grammatically and lexically feasible — for example, "I'll tell you what I think of the place once I'm actually there".

neutral Françoise Vogel : n'est-ce pas beaucoup trop long (par rapport à l'anglais) ?

Are you sure it is not "when I'll enter in that place"

Quand j'entrerai dans cet endroit, je chanterai ses louanges.
