English Language & Usage Asked on March 24, 2021
What is the difference between these two sentences?
Choose tools that are listed in A if possible
Choose tools that are listed in A when possible
I want to know when to use if possible
and when to use when possible
Thanks for your question.
"if possible" means if something is possible
"when possible" means when something is possible
So the difference is when VS if.
"when" leads an adverbial clause(time) and means a specific point of time.
"if" leads a conditional clause(also an adverbial clause) and means "assumption"
For example: When possible, please call me.= when available, please call me.
If possible, please call me.= If available, please call me.
The only difference is "when" vs "if".
You should study the words "if" and "when".
