"when it comes time to"
Hi,
I'm not familiar with the expression "when it comes time to" and so I would like to make sure something.
When it comes time to decide who gets the bottom bunk, I think anyone would agree that there's a lot to be said for doing things the hard way.
Does this mean,
When time to decide who gets the bottom bunk comes, I think anyone would agree that there's a lot to be said for doing things the hard way. ?
Thank you,
M

Yes, but use the former, not the latter; 'time' and 'comes' are awkwardly far apart in the latter.
