When
Learn to express “when” in Japanese to do.
When in Japanese, use ” いつ itsu “
Answer when / do something
In Japanese, the subject is often omitted. Omit ” I ” when talking about yourself, When talking to the person in front of you, omit ” you “.
Let’s compare the questions of A and B. The same thing is being asked, but the position of いつ(When) is different. Thus, in Japanese, the position of the question adverb changes depending on the wording.
“去年” is used for everyday conversations, especially with friends and family of the same generation. It is a spoken language and not suitable for official situations.
Point
In the past tense, ”いつ itsu” does not change, only the verb form changes to the past tense. This is one of the most versatile structures, and once you get the hang of it, it can be very useful for everyday use in Japanese .
In contrast to A, B can be said to be an expression assuming that the schedule is fixed.
