I felt better as soon as I took the medicine .
I don't know why , it just works out in my ear.
I ..... ( feel ) better as soon as I ....... ( take ) the medicine
Will it be
I will feel better as soon as I take the medicine
OR
I felt better as soon as I had taken the medicine
and why?
I felt better as soon as I took the medicine .
I don't know why , it just works out in my ear.
It depends on what you're using that sentence for. "I will feel better as soon as I take the medicine." - Is an action you will do in the future (in the next minute, hour, day, week, month, year, etc. - that's the future.) Also I think "the medicine" seems to be wrong. It should be just "medicine."
"I will feel better as soon as I take medicine."
The second sentence is describing an action that has been already done in the past. "I felt better as soon as I had taken the medicine." - So you already feel better since you had already taken the medicine. Same thing with this sentence too, it should be:
"I felt better as soon as I had taken medicine."

Both sentences are correct but they have different tenses. Hope I helped.

This is exactly how the teacher wrote the sentences
" I ....... ( feel ) better as soon as I ......... ( take ) the medicine
So if I answer it as
I will feel better as soon as I take the medicine
does she have any right to say that it's wrong since it's grammatically correct?
Turned out both were correct ( future and past perfect ), @Hero close this please
I will feel better as soon as I take the medicine
That's talking in the future.
I felt better as soon as I had taken the medicine
That's after you got better and you're referring to how you feel better now.
