Do you need "when"?
(1) Do you remember the time (when) we worked together?
(2) Do you remember the time (when) I broke your window?
(3) I enjoyed the day (when) we went to the beach to celebrate your birthday.
(4) He is imagining the day (when) he wins the lottery.
I made up these sentences myself.
Most of my non-native English speaking friends and I think "when" can be omitted. However, others think it is required.
Do the sentences sound better with or without "when"? Thank you for your help.
