Hi, I've seen the following question used as an example in an American English learning book for travelers:
When is the boarding time?
The context of the question is at the airport... At first, I didn't see any problem with the question at all. Until someone asked me: Should the question be "when is the boarding time" or "what is the boarding time" ?
He completely got me. I have no idea which one is the right question to ask... Or are they both correct? and how would the Americans normally ask the question in a situation like this?
Please help me out. I would really appreciate it!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
