疑問詞のwhen - 英文法を覚えよう

【whenとは何か?】

まず、Whenとは、時間を尋ねる際に使う疑問詞の一つです。
つまり、「いつ?」という質問をする場合に使われます。
例えば、「いつ買い物に行ったの?」という質問は、英語では「When did you go shopping?」となります。

また、Whenは疑問詞としてだけでなく、関係代名詞としても使われます。
関係代名詞としては、「~するとき」や「~したとき」といった意味で使われますが、今回は疑問詞としてのWhenにフォーカスして解説していきます。

【WhenとWhat timeの違い】

疑問詞のWhenとWhat timeは、どちらも「いつ」という意味を持ちますが、微妙な違いがあります。

Whenは、ある出来事が起こった曜日や時期を尋ねるときに使います。
例えば、「いつ日本に来たの?」という質問に対して「When did you come to Japan?」と答えることができます。
このように、Whenは出来事が起こった曜日や時期を尋ねるときに使われます。

一方、What timeは、ある行動や予定が何時に始まるか、または何時に終わるかを尋ねるときに使います。
例えば、「会議は何時からですか?」という質問に対して「What time does the meeting start?」と答えることができます。
また、「明日のパーティーは何時までですか?」という質問に対して「What time does the party end tomorrow?」と答えることができます。
このように、What timeは行動や予定が始まる時間や終わる時間を尋ねるときに使われます。

つまり、Whenは出来事が起こった曜日や時期を尋ね、What timeは行動や予定が始まる時間や終わる時間を尋ねるため、微妙なニュアンスの違いがあります。

「When+be動詞の疑問文」は、be動詞をWhenの後に入れて「いつ〜ですか?」と質問する表現になります。

「When is the party?」
「パーティーはいつですか?」

「When is your next vacation?」
「あなたの次の休暇はいつですか?」

このように、be動詞を使った疑問文にWhenを加えることで、「いつ〜ですか?」という質問ができます。
