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:
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

when just three years old, he was... — cuando tenía solo tres años, era...

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

this sounds expensive when compared with other cars — este parece caro si or cuando se compara con otros coches

how can I relax when I've got loads of things to do? — ¿cómo puedo relajarme si or cuando tengo montones de cosas que hacer?

English-spanish dictionary > when
2 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.

1. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVE

1) [+ objects/people]
You can generally use ese etc when pointing to something near the person you are speaking to. Use aquel etc for something which is distant from both of you: (nearer) ese m, esa f ; (more remote) aquel m, aquella f

• that one — ese(-a), ése(-a); (more remote) aquel(la), aquél(la)
In the past the standard spelling for [ese/esa] and [aquel/aquella] used as pronouns (as when they are used to translate [that one]) was with an accent ([ése/ésa] and [aquél/aquélla]). Nowadays the [Real Academia Española] advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives [este/esta] and [aquel/aquella].
there's little to choose between this model and that one — no hay mucho que elegir entre este modelo y aquel

2) [+ event, year, month]

Aquel is used to refer to a time in the distant past. Use if you mention a concrete date, month, year {etc">ese:

1992? I can't remember where we holidayed that year — ¿1992? no recuerdo dónde pasamos las vacaciones ese año

2.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
The pronoun that ( one) is translated by ese and aquel (masc), esa and aquella (fem) and eso and aquello (neuter). You can generally use ese etc when pointing to something near the person you are speaking to. Use aquel etc for something which is distant from both of you. Note that in the past the standard spelling for the masculine and feminine pronouns was with an accent (ése/ésa and aquél/aquélla). Nowadays the Real Academia Española advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives ese/esa and aquel/aquella. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent. (nearer) ese m, esa f, ése m, ésa f, eso (neuter) ; (more remote) aquel(la) m / f, aquél(la) m / f, aquello (neuter)

If the that clause is the subject of another verb it is usual to translate that as el que rather than que especially if it starts the sentence:
that he did not know surprised me — (el) que no lo supiera me extrañó, me extrañó (el) que no lo supiera
In these cases the verb which follows will be in the subjunctive:

Adverb ► When bef ore is an {adverb}, you can usually translate it using antes:

The night before, he had gone to a rock concert La noche anterior había ido a un concierto de rock ► In more formal contexts, where bef ore could be substituted by previously, anteriormente is another option:
As I said before... Como he dicho antes or anteriormente... ► When bef ore is equivalent to already, translate using ya ( antes) or, in questions about whether someone has done what they are doing now before, using ¿es la primera vez que...?:
"How about watching this film?" - "Actually, I've seen it before" -¿Vemos esa película? -Es que ya la he visto

We reached home before the storm broke Llegamos a casa antes de que empezara la tormenta ► If the subject of both clauses is the same, ant es de + ((infinitive)) is usually used rather than antes de que:

Before you arrived she was very depressed Antes de llegar tú, estaba muy deprimida For further uses and examples, see main entry

ⓘ GOOD FRIDAY En Grande-Bretagne, il est traditionnel, le jour du vendredi saint, de manger des "hot cross buns" (petits pains ronds aux fruits secs, marqués d'une croix).

ⓘ THE GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT Le processus de paix en Irlande du Nord, qui a été amorcé par les cessez-le-feu des groupes paramilitaires républicains et unionistes en 1994, a abouti au "Good Friday Agreement", l'accord de paix signé à Belfast en avril 1998. Cet accord, parrainé par les Premiers ministres britannique et irlandais, et finalement approuvé par le Sinn Féin et par la plupart des partis unionistes, a mis en place la "Northern Ireland Assembly", un parlement quasi autonome avec un partage démocratique du pouvoir entre les communautés protestante et catholique. Cet accord est une étape vers la fin de trente ans de guerre civile en Ulster.

ⓘ You've never had it so good Ce slogan a été utilisé pour la première fois aux États-Unis en 1952 par les Démocrates. Il signifie "vous êtes aujourd'hui plus prospères que jamais". En Grande-Bretagne, ce slogan est associé au Premier ministre conservateur Harold Macmillan qui l'utilisa dans un discours en 1957. Aujourd'hui, on utilise cette formule sur le mode ironique lorsqu'une situation n'encourage pas du tout à l'optimisme.
