[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another one I hear is the use of “whenever” instead of just “when.” “Whenever we went on vacation to Universal, the kids got Harry Potter wands.”[/quote] Your example is wrong. If an event is unique or its date or time is known, use when. Whenever is best used for repeated events or events whose date or time is uncertain. If you can substitute every time that or at whatever time that in your sentence, then whenever is preferred. Every time that we go (or went) to Universal , the kids get (or got) Harry Potter wands.[/quote]
