2 WHENS in a sentences?

Could you tell me how to say this?

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
1 When/If you miss an episode, you don't know what's going on/goes on when/if you you watch the next episode. (how would you say it?) Can you have 2 whens, where to put if and when?


Thank you

Hi! " Some notes: You can use when or if to begin this sentence (because it is a FACT). Two when s in a sentence is doubling, which is considered bad style in English (but technically correct).

  • That's why I put don't know what's going on at the end, because it seems like the main point of the sentence.
