Grammar
Adverbial Pronouns
a. I'll be driving around the area when I pick you up.
b. I'll be driving around the area at 7pm when I pick you up.
Any difference in meaning?
In a, is when a subordinating conjunction, heading an adverbial clause?
In b, is it an adverbial pronoun, heading a relative clause?
Thanks

" You can't always succeed in completely divorcing the meaning from the grammar. Kindest regards, - A. " That is, driving in a random, or a repetitious pattern for the purpose of being seen, or seeing who else is out and about.

- I think the difference is that you can drive at 7, or you can drive when you pick up.
- Both would be the same.

Hi, English,
You forgot to add you usual caveat, "even though no one in his right mind would ever utter such nonsense."
