Manhattan SC guide doubt

by conquistador » Mon Apr 25, 2016 7:40 am
Finally, the Present Perfect can be used in -ing forms, infinitives or subordinate clauses to clarify an
ambiguous sequence in time. For instance, the word when can mean either "at the same time" or "after."

The use of Present Perfect resolves the meaning.

Right: She WILL PAY you when you ASK her. (No Present Perfect)
= She will pay you at the same time as you ask her, or maybe just after.
The above text is from Manhattan SC guide.
I request you to indicate and explain the present perfect tense here as I feel this is in simple future tense.

There is no present perfect in that sentence.

Perhaps the sentence was meant to be the following.

She will pay you when you have asked her.
