Hi, I think "WHEN" is better. Or "What time would be the most convenient for you." is also correct. Regards, Morteza |

Good morning Morteza. You could even ask,
"Which time would be most convenient for you?"
I believe which is used when many choices present themselves, whilst what or when are used for limited possibilities.
It's only my belief, and I am happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable.

Hi Bill, "Which" is used when we are thinking about a small number of possibilities(2,3 or 4): Which way shall we go? There are four cars.Which is yours? While "What" is more general: What sort of music do you like? What is the capital of Iran? Compare: What is the longest river in the world? Which is the longer river-the Mississippi,the Nile,the Amazon? Hope this helps, Morteza |
