In this sentence ‘when’ does not introduce a time clause since we can ask a question like: What (or what information) cannot we predict?
The “when” part looks like an adverbial time clause, but it is not always a time clause. For example, if the original question was, “When will you know the results?”, we could ask:
(correct) Could you tell me when you will know the results? (see below) Could you tell me when you know the results?
The second sentence is grammatical, but it is a different question! In the first case, you ask when (i.e. at what time) the other person will know the results, so the answer would be something like “at 5 o’clock”. In the other case, you ask the person to let you know after they get the results, so they would wait until they get them (e.g. until 5 o’clock) and then tell you, “I just got the results.”
Sometimes, it is harder to see that the structure is that of an indirect question. Consider the following examples:
(correct) I don’t know when he will come. (see below) I don’t know when he comes. The sentences could be rephrased as:
What I don’t know is: When will he come? What I don’t know is: At what time does he habitually come?
Both questions are grammatically correct, but only the first one asks about the specific time when “he will come”. The present tense in the other one indicates we ask about what happens habitually (such as every day or every week). The question is in the present because the answer would be in the present too, e.g. “He usually comes at 5 o’clock.”
Первая часть, вторая строчка — опечатка (an evenT)? возможно поэтому мой ответ, который я пробовала как вариант — will occur — не прошел
Добрый день! Благодарим вас за внимательность, опечатка исправлена. Также напоминаем, что ответы нужно вписывать слитно — WILLOCCUR.
после UNAWARE разве не нужно еще и OF? (unaware of how color affect us)
Добрый день! Благодарим вас за внимательность, опечатка исправлена.
Sorry, «will» after «when» isn’t used because “when” is a conjunction that introduces a time clause. Why is «when such an event willoccur» correct?
