KnightofsportsWhat's the difference when saying:When is the last time you were there? AndWhen's the last time you were there? AndWhen was the last time you were there?The first two are exactly the same because "When's" is a contraction for "When is".
To my ear, there is no difference between "When is" and "When was" in this specific context.
