Question or matter of ?

Hi dears!

I do not understand when to use "it is a question of time" or "it is a matter of time"

Are they synonyms?

Thanks in advance

Yes. They are synonyms and can be used interchangeably. But a matter of time is more common and used more widely.

You can used only and just with a matter of time.

Ex. It is only/ just a matter of time before I become the best English teacher in town.
