Video Summary #2: When

Video Summary #2: When

When:  เมื่อ is used for เมื่อไหร่ (When?), and  เมื่อวานนี้  (Yesterday), etc..

But เมื่อ to say ‘when’ something happened is mostly in writing rather than spoken, except

เมื่อก่อน (Some time before or in the past.)

Three options to say ‘when’ something happens:

1.           เวลา:  Non-specific point in time, “Whenever”.  When I exercise, I feel good.

2.           ตอน:  Specific point in time. When I was five years old, I broke my leg.

3.           พอ:  When/as soon as (x) happens then (y) happens. When I arrived, he left.
