Show transcript
'When' and 'if' are types of joining word. A simple sentence can be stretched with 'when' to give a time frame to the first idea. A simple sentence can be stretched with 'if' to give conditions to the first idea. Joining the first idea with 'when' or 'if' forms a second idea that is subordinate to the first. Using 'when' or 'if' to stretch a simple sentence forms an adverbial complex sentence.
