  • Oh, hey. When did you get here? I'm glad you came. Just give me a second.

  • Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on "Common 'When' Questions",

  • "When" in English. So, when we ask a question with "When", we want to know the time that

  • something happened, generally happens, will happen, etc. So, today, I am going to look

  • at some of the most common questions you can ask with this question word, and we will focus

  • not only on the structure, but also getting fluent with these questions, making sure we're

  • pronouncing them correctly, and making sure the intonation is good, and that the fluency

  • is nice and sharp, and quick and fast. Okay?

  • So, let's start from the beginning. Your beginning. "When is your birthday?"

  • Okay? So, here, most commonly, you're using the contraction.

  • Right? So quickly, you would say: "When's your birthday?"

  • Okay? So, everyone, if you can just repeat after me: "When's your birthday?" Excellent.

  • Now, a similar question asking about the date of your birth is: "When were you born?" Okay?

  • Now, let's try this a little quicker, repeat after me: "When were you born?" All right?

  • Excellent.

  • And next we have a series of questions that ask about bed, pretty much. So, for example:

  • "Hey. When do you wake up?", "get up?", "get out of bed?", or "go to bed?" Now, obviously

  • the first three in the morning or maybe in the afternoon after a siesta or a nap, depending

  • on your schedule. They relate to getting out of bed. So: "When do you wake up in the morning?"

  • open your eyes. "When do you get up?" like, leave your bed. Or: "...get out of bed?" which

  • is literally, you know, leaving your bed. Or, at night: "When do you go to bed?" Now,

  • of course, these are routines, habits. You can use words like:

  • "When do you normally get up?", "When do you usually get up?", or "wake up?", or "go to bed?" So, let's repeat them after me:

  • "When do you wake up?",

  • "When do you normally get up?",

  • "When do you usually get out of bed?"

  • Now, did you listen to that? I said: "...get outta bed", not just: "get out of",

  • but "get outta". So, one more time: "When do you get out of bed?" All right? And

  • last one: "When do you go to bed?" Very good.

  • Okay, next: "When is __________?"

  • So: "When is this?", "that?", "it?", "When is it?"

  • This can be anything, this can be an event or the start of a movie, or something like that.

  • Or the release date of the movie. So, for example: "When is the party?", "When is class?",

  • "When is the conference?", "When is the Retro Fan Expo in San Francisco?" I guess that's

  • a thing, maybe. I don't know. Okay? So: "When is it?", "When is that?", "When is this?"

  • So, you get like something from your friend and it looks like an exciting event is coming,

  • and you say: "Oh, when is this?" Right? So, repeat after me, we'll do all three:

  • "When is this?",

  • "When is that?",

  • "When is it?"

  • Very good. Okay.

  • Now, if you're a student, the next question can be very common. So, you would ask your

  • professor or maybe one of your friends because you didn't attend an important class, or you

  • attended the class but you were not paying attention, and you have an assignment, a test,

  • or you have something you need to write and you need to give it to the professor, say:

  • "Hey. When is this/that/it due?" Now, when something is due it means you must complete

  • it and submit it to your professor by that date. So, let's do the three questions, and

  • you can just repeat them after me: "When is this due?",

  • "When is that due?",

  • "When's it due?"

  • Okay, good. Now, you noticed I said: "When's", right? "When's it", "When's it".

  • So, make sure you're listening when I'm using the contraction as well. All right.

  • Next, if you want to invite your friends, you know, for dinner or to go have a coffee

  • or just to hang out at your house or something, you can ask: "Hey. When are you free?" or

  • "When are you available?" Okay? So, your schedule, you know, you're working here or you're in

  • school here or you have a birthday party here. I want to see you: "When are you free?" or

  • "When are you available?" So, repeat after me: "When are you free?",

  • "When are you available?"

  • Good. Now, this can also be in the workplace. So, you want to meet with a colleague, with

  • a co-worker to talk about something important in your department, and you can ask your colleague,

  • your co-worker: "When are you free?", "When are you available?" Basically:

  • "When is the best time to contact you or to see you?" Okay? All right.

  • And next, the next two, they deal with arriving and leaving, so this can be for a party, for

  • example. So, I'm going to do: "When do/did", "do" or "did" in the present or the past.

  • We'll do the present first. "When do you arrive?", "When do you get here?" So, if you have, you

  • know, a co-worker and you just... You're just asking, you're making conversation, say:

  • "Hey. When do you normally arrive here?", "When do you get here?", "When do you come to work?"

  • for example. And here: "Did", you can say "yesterday" or "this morning":

  • "Hey. When did you arrive?", "When did you get here?" This can be for a party, for example, or a

  • friend's house. Or if someone comes and you're surprised to see them, you can say, like:

  • "Hey. When did you get here?" Okay? "When did you arrive?"

  • And finally, when the... When the person leaves, you can say: "When did you leave?" or

  • "When did you go home?",

  • "I didn't see you leave yesterday at the party. What time? When did you leave?"

  • Okay? Or, in general, at work: "When do you finish?" So: "When do you leave?",

  • "When do you go home?" All right?

  • Let's continue, and we'll do these a little faster now. So:

  • "When does __________ start/begin/end/finish?"

  • Now, "When does", this can be anything. "When does the movie start?", "When does the party finish?",

  • "When does the picnic end?" Whatever event it is, you can just say:

  • "Hey. When. What time? When does __________ start/begin/end/finish." So, repeat after me:

  • "When does the movie start?" Repeat after me, okay:

  • "When does the meeting end?"

  • Excellent.

  • Now, the next one, this is something you can say to criticize, maybe, a friend; usually

  • a close friend, hopefully not someone you just met. So: "When are you gonna learn?"

  • Or... You noticed I put "gonna", which is "going to": "When are you gonna learn?" or

  • "When are you gonna grow up?" So, if you have a person in your life who is not mature, who

  • is immature, you can ask them: "When are you gonna grow up?"

  • or "When are you gonna learn or change?" Okay?

  • When are you going to do something that makes your life better or improves

  • you, improves yourself? All right? So, repeat after me:

  • "When are you gonna learn?" Good.

  • And one more time: "When are you gonna grow up?"

  • Excellent. Now, the next two, very similar. So: "When did you do that?" or "When did you make that?"

  • Now, I used "do" and "make", they're the most common verbs in the... In this type of question,

  • but you can use other verbs. So: "When did you do that?", "When did you make that?" If

  • your friend is, you know, really good at making model cars, for example, like this one here,

  • you can ask your friend, like: "When did you make this?" Okay? Like: "When did you do this?"

  • Or the next question: "When did you have time to do this?",

  • "When did you have time to make this?"

  • All right? So, you're surprised that, like: "Hey. When did you have time?" Like:

  • How did you find the time to do this or that? All right. And repeat after me this question

  • one more time: "When did you have time to do that?"

  • Excellent.

  • And two more to go. "When was the last time...?" So, if you have taken an English class before,

  • you know this is one of the most common questions you learn when you are especially learning

  • to speak in the past for the first time, so: "Hey. When was the last time you did something?"

  • And, now, this is a past question so you must use a simple past verb, so:

  • "When was the last time you called your mom?",

  • "When was the last time you drank?",

  • or "When was the last time you ate?",

  • or "When was the last time you had sushi?" for example. All right?

  • And finally: "When is this over?!" Alex, you have been talking for so long, and I'm still

  • watching your video, I'm still paying attention because, I don't know, the red shirt or something.

  • I'm not sure what it is. But a very common question. You're at a movie and maybe it's

  • a terrible movie or it's a really long movie, like The Revenant or Batman v Superman, and

  • you think, like: "When is this over? When is this finished?"

  • Now, friends, it's finished now. Okay?
