. You can use 'when', but that word is not one of the options offered for this question. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

I suppose strictly speaking you could, but then you would be saying "I'll e-mail you providing (if) I arrive' whereas the meaning is 'I'll email you once (when) I arrive'. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."

I. 1. Her parents died while she was still at school. 2. Her parents died when she was still at school. Do they mean the same? II. Can I write "Some people work better to music while others do not." as "Some people work better to music when others do not."? |
