Thursday Thought #EmmaStClair

If you enjoy a good romantic comedy, you really need to check out Emma St. Clair’s Love Cliché Series. It centres on five young women, their friendship, and their romantic journeys. The characters have depth; the situations have poignancy and humour. Sometimes they’re even a little wacky. But throughout, you will find excellent writing, great stories, and always an HEA.

Monday Muddle: when, whenever, when ever

“When” should be used if you are referring to a specific time.

“Whenever” should be used if the time is less specific or repetitive. 

“When ever” should only be written as two words if the meaning is “when, if ever”.
Example: When ever will you answer your email?

Monday Muddle: when: (adverb) at what time; in what circumstance; (relative adverb) introduces a clause that relates to time; (conjunction) at the time that, during the time that; considering that; although whenever: (conjunction) any time that; every time that; at whatever time that when ever: (adverb + adverb) when, if ever
