The sentence requires the correct verb forms to complete the meaning. The first blank needs a verb that indicates the action of paying, and the second blank needs a verb that indicates receiving. The most appropriate verbs in this context are 'pay' and 'get'. Therefore, the completed sentence is 'I pay you after I get my cheque.' This implies a direct and simple present action. The structure suggests a conditional or habitual action, making the simple present tense suitable for both verbs.
