Question of time
Hi,
Can we use "matter of time" instead of "question of time" in the following sentence as a synonym?
"Habbah hasn't really made the connection yet, or asked for Nike trainers, but it's only a question of time before she does."
Regards,
Iman

You might say that the resolution of the matter/question/issue "turns on" time. Time is the critical factor in resolving this thing.
("Turns on" is an idiom here -- something like "depends on.")
