1. what time與 when 都可表示“什么時(shí)候”。前者所表示的時(shí)間比較精確，指“幾點(diǎn)鐘”，“幾時(shí)幾分”;后者所表示的時(shí)間范圍廣，既可指“幾點(diǎn)鐘”“幾點(diǎn)幾分”，用來(lái)代替what time，也可能某年某月某日。

2. when和what time的區(qū)別在于what time問(wèn)具體的時(shí)間，如某一天的幾點(diǎn)鐘，甚至幾分鐘，而when問(wèn)的時(shí)間比較籠統(tǒng)。比如在問(wèn)生日時(shí)，不要用“what time”，應(yīng)該用when。

用法示例如下：

what time

1. Whats the time？ / What time is it？ 幾點(diǎn)鐘了？

2. What time did he leave？他什么時(shí)候離開(kāi)的？

3. What time do you get up？? 你什么時(shí)候起床？

when

1. When are you going home？? 你什么時(shí)候回家？

2. When eating a whole cooked fish， you should never turn it over to get at the flesh on the other side. 吃一整條魚(yú)時(shí)，切忌把它翻過(guò)來(lái)去吃另一面的肉。

3. When I met the Greens， I had been gardening for nearly ten years. 遇到格林一家時(shí)，我已經(jīng)做了近10年的園藝工作。

When is your birthday？ 你生日是什么時(shí)候？
