Asking questions can be a challenge when learning any language. But they are essential to learning more about others and making new friends! In this lesson, I look at the construction and pronunciation of many common WHEN questions in English. Some of these include: “When were you born?”, “When do you wake up?”, “When are you free?”, and “When did you arrive?”.
Hi alex thanks for great job and best lesson
I learned more from you and your lessons and when do you gonna upload the next video? ;-)
Tilko
“When are you gonna upload your next video?” It should be in two weeks. Thanks for watching!
Alex
When are you gonne give my you youtube channel link
Mohamed Elmancy
Alex i wanted to ask . In the last question of quiz. Aren’t that both sentence could be correct. When does she free? Or when is she free? Although,In both sentences subject verb agreement is right . Give me your briefing.
Annie
Free is an adjective. That’s why it’s correct to ask “When is she free?”
When you ask something using the auxiliaries DO/DOES a verb is requiered. In the question “When does she free” there’s not a verb.
Hope it helps.
joselu
I got it .Thank you so much Joselu!
Annie
thank you also for clarifying this for me joselu
SKIKDA
I see the question has already been answered. :) Yep, “free” is an adjective…you can also use it like a verb, but in a different sense.
“When did they free the slaves?”
I hope this helps!
Alex
Hi Alex
Thanks for such a good lesson
Weichen Huang
When will I learn English enough to be considered like a native speaker?
This is a very tough question, I admit.
Canardo
Very tough indeed. I’m learning French and I don’t think I’ll be close to native proficiency in terms of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc. for many more years. If you can take an intensive language class, your progress will be much quicker, but if you’re working and only have a few minutes a day to practice, it can take much longer.
Alex
In my opinion you should think u was born again in french speaking family. It will take u about 7 years to be like a first year french schoolboy.
Nurbek1983
I got 10/10. :D
It is a clear lesson and I got the points.
Thank you very much, Mr. Alex.

Hi Alex
Nice video I got 08 out of 10, but I am curious about question no. 4 when is this due? or when does this due and other than question no 10 when is she free? or when does she free? I need you kind attention to clarify make a good sensation.
Muhammad Abbas
“Due” is an adjective and needs the auxiliary “to be” in this case.
“Free” is also an adjective in the second example, and therefore needs “to be” as the auxiliary as well.
Only use “do/does/did” in questions and negatives when it is used with a simple/base verb, and not with adjectives, numbers, nouns, etc.
I hope this helps a bit!
Alex
Perfect Alex. Parfait, comme d’hab (d’habitude).

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching and for continuing to study with EngVid!
Alex
Hi Alex, nice tips.
I enjoyed your lesson.
But, I have 2 questions:
1. Is it ‘when’ contraction use in formal conversation?
2. In which case I use the auxiliary ‘do/did’ in ‘wh’ questions in general?
For example, You’ve used ‘do’ in the third question, but not in the second one.
Thanks
fluchi
In speaking, question words are frequently contracted with their auxiliaries. It’s the same for ‘when.’
“When have” – “when’ve” in speaking
“When are” – “when’re” in speaking
“When is” – “when’s” in speaking
“When did you” – “When’jyoo?”
Alex
very nice! thank you

I’m confused in the sixth and the tenth question
Lana
Thanks Alex!!Excellent lesson as usual!!
Just one question: I´ve always heard the word “due” pronounced as /dju:/, and you pronounce it as /du/. Is this because /dju:/ is the British way to pronounce it??
knopfler86
You got it. :) I have a co-worker from London who says it as “dju” and I always think it sounds weird. Haha.
Alex
Yes, and mentioned in the video word “schedule” in british english would sound the other way)) It’s everlasting theme -how Amerikan pronounceation differ from British’s one
Kubanez
thanks Alex .. I have a question ..can you please explain why this option is wrong
“when is the play begins”
Greetings From Cairo,Egypt.
osama9988
You can’t combine a simple verb with the verb “to be” in question form. It needs to be “When does the play begin?” If you are focusing on a simple ACTION in a question, you must use the auxiliaries “do/does/did.”
Alex
Hi Alex
10/10 Thank you for this useful lesson.

ehdadan
Hi dear Alex. THANK YOU
i think learning grammars leads to thinking about what you want to speak, before speaking and that’s why the beginner speakers cant speak fast …for instance when an american guy wants to speak, he doesn’t think about…i don’t know how i say what i mean, i mean it works like a Multiplication table in our mind…we could give answer without thinking about the process. best regards.

phamngoctram
Please tell me which is correct and why?
1) Who sings in the band?
2) Who does sing in the band?
ashaubhari
Number( 2) is correct because (s) was used in ( does)… so you don’t need it in the verb ( sing ) ..
Khalil Hassan
thanks alex.. would you like explain me why no.5 the correct answer is “When are you going to learn?” i was wrong to choose
“When do you going to learn?”
thanks
NeenaKaluti
The verb here(going) needs helping verb ( are ).

Hi Neena
you must use capital letters in begging of sentences and with names ….

2) in case
3) in that
4) as though = as if
5) so far as
6) in order that
7) thereby
8) therein
9) thereof
10) therefore
11) thereafter
12) wherein

15) bar=except
16) as for
17) as per
18) as to
19) much as
20) many as / as much

What are these words and what do you calls these words in English?
Is there a complete categorization for these words?
These are really confusing for me. Help me. Thank you.
If it is possible for you, please make a video for these words.

Hi Alex, I am so confused about this question:”When was the last time you called your mom?”. I know we have to use simple past tense for this sence, but we have:”When did you go to school” not “When did you went to school?. So, I think “When was the last time you call your mom?”. Please make me more clear. Thanks a lot, Alex!
nguyenthingoclan
“When was the last time you called your mom” thì you called your mom là một mệnh đề phụ nên chia quá khứ, con câu dưới thì có 1 mệnh đề nên chia 1 lần thôi

Hi Alex!
Why are we used “were” instead “did” in this sentence?
When were you born? It seems to me, when did we have a verb in basic form (born), we must use aux v. “do”, not “be”

Hi Alex
Thanks for such a good lesson
When will I learn English enough to be considered like a native speaker?
This is a very tough question, I admit.
Very tough indeed. I’m learning French and I don’t think I’ll be close to native proficiency in terms of fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc. for many more years. If you can take an intensive language class, your progress will be much quicker, but if you’re working and only have a few minutes a day to practice, it can take much longer.
In my opinion you should think u was born again in french speaking family. It will take u about 7 years to be like a first year french schoolboy.
I got 10/10. :D
It is a clear lesson and I got the points.
Thank you very much, Mr. Alex.
My pleasure. Nice job on the quiz!
Hi Alex
Nice video I got 08 out of 10, but I am curious about question no. 4 when is this due? or when does this due and other than question no 10 when is she free? or when does she free? I need you kind attention to clarify make a good sensation.
“Due” is an adjective and needs the auxiliary “to be” in this case.
“Free” is also an adjective in the second example, and therefore needs “to be” as the auxiliary as well.
Only use “do/does/did” in questions and negatives when it is used with a simple/base verb, and not with adjectives, numbers, nouns, etc.

“When is” – “when’s” in speaking
“When did you” – “When’jyoo?”
very nice! thank you
its great lesson for beginner alex thank you, we are waiting more from you
Thanks, SKIKDA! I’d love to produce content quicker, but my videos usually come out once every two weeks or so.
8/10. )))
I’m confused in the sixth and the tenth question
Thanks Alex!!Excellent lesson as usual!!
Just one question: I´ve always heard the word “due” pronounced as /dju:/, and you pronounce it as /du/. Is this because /dju:/ is the British way to pronounce it??
You got it. :) I have a co-worker from London who says it as “dju” and I always think it sounds weird. Haha.
Yes, and mentioned in the video word “schedule” in british english would sound the other way)) It’s everlasting theme -how Amerikan pronounceation differ from British’s one
thanks Alex .. I have a question ..can you please explain why this option is wrong
“when is the play begins”
Greetings From Cairo,Egypt.
You can’t combine a simple verb with the verb “to be” in question form. It needs to be “When does the play begin?” If you are focusing on a simple ACTION in a question, you must use the auxiliaries “do/does/did.”
Hi Alex

Good idea! I’ll keep this in mind for a future lesson, but I’m sure there are plenty of Google links that could help answer some of these questions in the meantime.
Thanks Alex. The lesson is more clear.
Thanks for watching it, Dinesh. I’m glad it was clear for you!

Hi Alex! Thanks for this lesson, it was very educative.
Alex thank u very much for your lesson it has improved my English better that I thought
I got it Alex. Thanks for this lesson
thanks Alex this is great jop
Hi dear Alex. THANK YOU
i think learning grammars leads to thinking about what you want to speak, before speaking and that’s why the beginner speakers cant speak fast …for instance when an american guy wants to speak, he doesn’t think about…i don’t know how i say what i mean, i mean it works like a Multiplication table in our mind…we could give answer without thinking about the process. best regards.
Hi Alex. WHEN are we going to watch another great video lesson like this one?
alex. You are to good.
thanks mr alex today i learned something new about how to use that word . thx a lot .
HI Mr Alex improve my english or Grammar english first thank you very much

Dzięki Alex. Dobra i przydatna lekcja. Jesteś również najlepiej (dla mnie) zrozumiałym nauczycielem. Pozdrawiam.
Thank you for your lesson. I really enjoyed it!
Hi Alex. Thanks for the lesson. It was really helpful. By the way I am a little bit confused when using was and were… Any chance of a new lesson on the subject?
thanks Alex so much. :)
Please tell me which is correct and why?
1) Who sings in the band?
2) Who does sing in the band?
Number( 2) is correct because (s) was used in ( does)… so you don’t need it in the verb ( sing ) ..
thanks alex.. would you like explain me why no.5 the correct answer is “When are you going to learn?” i was wrong to choose
“When do you going to learn?”
thanks
The verb here(going) needs helping verb ( are ).
Hi Neena
you must use capital letters in begging of sentences and with names ….

Thank you ,Alex!
Alex you Rock!!
Thank very much Mr Alex for this lesson …
Hi Alex! Thanks for the lesson. I really enjoy listening to your English. I’ve got a question: when was the last time you did it? And when did you last do it? Are both sentences similar in meaning? Is the latter grammatically correct?
Thank you very much
Very informative leasson, keep it up bro
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY TEACHER
i got 9 out of 10, thank you Alex you are the best teacher for me :)
Sorry teacher, I don’t undertand the questions 5 and 10. Why used the verb to be in this two cases?
Your explanation is very clear mister, you give an example with some sentences that easy for me to understand.
Can you give me a lesson about the means of “Similar to/with/from/than or Different to/with/from/than”. Please mister.. than you :)
Thanks teacher
hi, im a master student from Iran.
at first i want to say thank you for teaching.
and then i wanna say i have a big problem with these words:
1) so as to
2) in case
3) in that
4) as though = as if
5) so far as
6) in order that
7) thereby
8) therein
9) thereof
10) therefore
11) thereafter
12) wherein
13) henceforth=henceforward
14) barnone
15) bar=except
16) as for
17) as per
18) as to
19) much as
20) many as / as much
21) …
What are these words and what do you calls these words in English?
Is there a complete categorization for these words?
These are really confusing for me. Help me. Thank you.
If it is possible for you, please make a video for these words.
R.S.V.P.
Thank you, Alex, for your Lessons
Hi Alex, I am so confused about this question:”When was the last time you called your mom?”. I know we have to use simple past tense for this sence, but we have:”When did you go to school” not “When did you went to school?. So, I think “When was the last time you call your mom?”. Please make me more clear. Thanks a lot, Alex!
“When was the last time you called your mom” thì you called your mom là một mệnh đề phụ nên chia quá khứ, con câu dưới thì có 1 mệnh đề nên chia 1 lần thôi
I think we need just memorize this expression. It will be easier for us at the first time…

Thank you sir alex! I learned a lot,you’re videos are easy to understand.I’m not good in English before till now thought but atleast now im improving little by little. thanks to this site. Gosh it’s so freaking hard for me to write a sentence or paragraph, I’m sorry i don’t finished schooling due to financial problems that’s why it’s very hard for me to speak or write in English. But in the feature I’m planning to go back school that’s why i stumbled in this site. Pheww!
Gosh my English is so wrong :(

Thank you Alex
teacher Alex, you always gives us very nice lessons.in this “when”questions, I was confused of verb do and be.could you tell me when is the time to use do and when is the time to use be ? thank you.
Hi Alex!
Why are we used “were” instead “did” in this sentence?
When were you born? It seems to me, when did we have a verb in basic form (born), we must use aux v. “do”, not “be”
Hi,teacher.Very good lesson.Thanks!
Thanks Alex, I got 10 from 10
alas, I get 80 scores, I will try best
I got 10 out of 10.Thanks a lots my teacher.
please explain how i am wrong in my first answer….when were you born i am not sure
i appreciate teacher :))))
