When

Level 1

Quora asks when.

How It Works

Quora asks about time. The verb keeps its usual form: Quora arribas? (When do you arrive?), Quora trabalha Maria? (When does Maria work?).

The answer can be a day or a part of the day: Deman. Dimenge. The present tense also works for plans: Quora anatz a Tolosa? asks when you will go. It works with any verb: Quora manjatz? (When do you eat?) If the subject is a name, it can follow the verb, as in Quora trabalha Maria?

Do not mix it up with ont, which asks where. For a clock time ask A quina ora? A statement with "when" uses quand, which you learn later.

    The verb trabalha stays in the he or she form.

  3. Quora anatz a Tolosa?

    When are you going to Toulouse?

    The place is known; the time is asked.

  4. Quora partissètz?
