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

I know when it happened — yo sé cuándo ocurrió

say when! (when serving food, drink) ¡dime cuánto! since when

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

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

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:
be careful when crossing or when you cross the road — ten cuidado al cruzar la calle

when he went out he saw it was raining — al salir vio que estaba lloviendo

when a student at Oxford, she... — cuando era estudiante or estudiaba en Oxford...

my father, when young, had a fine tenor voice — mi padre, de joven or cuando era joven, tenía una buena voz de tenor

the floor is slippery when wet — el suelo resbala cuando está mojado

hardly had the film begun when there was a power cut — apenas había empezado la película cuando se fue la corriente

even when — aun cuando

2) (=if) si, cuando

English-german dictionary > when
5 Usage note : when

when can very often be translated by quand in time expressions:

when did she leave?

= quand est-ce qu’elle est partie? or elle est partie quand? or quand est-elle partie?

Note that in questions quand on its own requires inversion of the verb and subject:

when are they arriving?

= quand arrivent-ils?

but when followed by est-ce que needs no inversion: quand est-ce qu’ils arrivent?

Occasionally a more precise time expression is used in French:

when’s your birthday?

= quelle est la date de ton anniversaire?

when did he set off?

= à quelle heure est-il parti?

Remember that the future tense is used after quand if future time is implied:

tell him when you see him

= dis-le-lui quand tu le verras

It is often possible to give a short neat translation for a when clause if there is no change of subject in the sentence:

when I was very young, I lived in Normandy

= tout jeune, j’habitais en Normandie

when he was leaving, he asked for my address

= en partant, il m’a demandé mon adresse

In expressions such as the day when, the year when, où is used:

the day when we got married

= le jour où nous nous sommes mariés

For examples of the above and further uses of when, see the entry when.
