1. ADVERB

1) (in direct and indirect questions, reported speech)

When in direct and indirect questions as well as after expressions of (un)certainty and doubt (e.g. no sé) translates as cuándo (with an accent) and is used with the indicative: cuándo
when did it happen? — ¿cuándo ocurrió?

• he asked me when I had seen it — me preguntó cuándo lo había visto

• do you know when he died? — ¿sabes cuándo murió?

I know when it happened — yo sé cuándo ocurrió

• he told me when the wedding would be — me dijo cuándo sería la boda

he told me when to come in — me indicó cuándo entrar
say when! (when serving food, drink) ¡dime cuánto! since when
since when do you like or have you liked Indian food? — ¿desde cuándo te gusta la comida india?
till when? ¿hasta cuándo?
2) (in exclamations) cuándo

when will we learn to keep our mouths shut! — ¡cuándo aprenderemos a callar la boca!

3) (in other statements)

a) (=the time, day, moment etc) cuando

that was when the trouble started — entonces fue cuando empezaron los problemas

Monday? that's when Ted gets back — ¿el lunes? ese día es cuando vuelve Ted

that's when the programme starts — a esa hora es cuando empieza el programa

1958: that's when I was born — 1958: (en) ese año nací yo

she told me about when she was in London — me contó lo que le pasó cuando estuvo en Londres

b) (relative use)
If when follows a noun (e.g. day, time) and defines the noun, translate using ( en) que not cuando:
(en) que
during the time when she lived abroad — durante el tiempo (en) que vivió en el extranjero

the year when you were born — el año (en) que naciste

she can't remember a time when she wasn't happy — no recuerda una época (en) que no fuese feliz

there are times when I wish I'd never met him — hay momentos en los que desearía no haberlo conocido nunca

c)
If the when clause following a noun provides additional information which does not define or restrict the noun - in English as in Spanish commas are obligatory here - translate using cuando:
cuando
some days, when we're very busy, we don't finish work till very late — algunos días, cuando tenemos mucho trabajo, no acabamos hasta muy tarde

2. CONJUNCTION

1) (=at, during or after the time that)
As a conjunction, when can be translated by cuando (without an accent) followed by either the indicative or the subjunctive. Use the indicative when talking about the past or making general statements about the present. Use the subjunctive when the action is or was in the future: cuando
when I came in — cuando entré

when I was young — cuando era joven

he had just sat down when the phone rang — acababa de sentarse cuando sonó el teléfono

everything looks nicer when the sun is shining — todo está más bonito cuando brilla el sol

he arrived at 8 o'clock, when traffic is at its peak — llegó a las ocho en punto, en lo peor del tráfico

call me when you get there — llámame cuando llegues

when the bridge is built — cuando se construya el puente

you can go when we have finished — puedes irte cuando hayamos terminado

he said he'd tell me when I was older — dijo que me lo diría cuando fuera mayor
If [when] + verb can be substituted by [on] + '-ing' in English and describes an action that takes place at the same time as another one or follows it very closely, you can use [al] + infinitive:

nascere¹

/'na∫∫ere/ [63]

La traduzione in inglese di nascere crea due tipi di problemi: innanzitutto, il verbo nascere è reso dalla forma passiva di to bear (= partorire, generare), cosicché to be born traduce nascere in quanto significa essere partorito / generato; ciò spiega l'imperfetta corrispondenza formale nelle due lingue in frasi come sono nato / nacqui nel 1956 = I was born in 1956 o era nato in una famiglia povera = he had been born in a poor family; secondariamente, quando nascere è usato in senso letterale ma non in riferimento agli esseri umani oppure in senso figurato, l'inglese utilizza solitamente altri verbi, per i quali vedi sotto le accezioni 2 e seguenti.
