as soon as
The moment that
As soon as introduces the moment something happens, emphasizing immediacy or minimal delay between two events: Call me as soon as you land.
It can mark either past sequence (She left as soon as he arrived) or future intention (I'll tell you as soon as I know).
The phrase suggests eagerness or urgency—things happening at the earliest possible moment.
