Syntax
Hello everyone,
A. Could you please tell me if the sentences below #1 and #2 I constructed are correct?
1. We can put the conjunction "when" at the beginning of both sentences, or it can come at the beginning of both sentences, as follows:
Eg. When he arrives home, he'll call me.
2. We can place the conjunction "when" in the middle of both sentences, as follows:
Eg. He'll call me when he arrives home.
B. Could you please give me better alternatives for #1 and #2 if they aren't constructed well?
Kind regards,
JA

The conjunction is not the syntactical element that we move. The entire dependent clause is moved.
