A. The original aentence is:

Eg. Grade 11 was the time when I decided my future career.

1. Grade 11 was the time I decided my future career.

2. Grade 11 was when I decided my future career.

Grade 11 was the time when I decided my future career. (I find this to be redundant.)


1. Grade 11 was the time I decided my future career. (This sounds like it was a certain moment.)

2. Grade 11 was when I decided my future career.

Eg. Witney College was the place where I studied Office Skills.
