1. ADVERB1) (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: cuándowhen 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?say when! (when serving food, drink) ¡dime cuánto! since when•

a) (=the time, day, moment etc) cuandoMonday? that's when Ted gets back — ¿el lunes? ese día es cuando vuelve Ted
If when follows a noun (e.g. day, time) and defines the noun, translate using ( en) que not cuando:1958: that's when I was born — 1958: (en) ese año nací yo
(en) quethere 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:
cuandosome 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. CONJUNCTION1) (=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: cuandoIf [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:he arrived at 8 o'clock, when traffic is at its peak — llegó a las ocho en punto, en lo peor del tráfico
