Explication

いつ means “when.” It is used to ask about time in general. Unlike specific times, いつ does not take に. Key points: • いつ = when (general) • Usually used without に • Often paired with verbs like 行きます, 来ます, 会います • For exact time, use time + に instead Example: “いつ行きますか” means “When will you go?” “いつ会いますか” means “When will we meet?” If you want a specific time, answer with a time expression plus に: “三時に行きます.” Practice by asking simple questions: いつ帰りますか, いつ勉強しますか.
