Grammar

When we want to talk about a possible future, or something that is not true, we use the past form of a verb
— Can –> Could, Will –> Would
e.g. I could spend a whole month there without ever getting bored.
e.g. The first thing I would do would be to buy a large pizza.
e.g. If I were a doctor, I would have to work in a hospital.

When – this usually connects parts of a sentence and cannot be used by itself in that way; it means that a part of the sentence can be taken out because it is extra
— When this . . . [then] that.
e.g. At seven o’clock, when I got home from work, I made dinner = At seven o’clock I made dinner ~ At seven o’clock I got home from work and then I made dinner.
e.g. In the last episode, when the Hunt Dog told Arya to stay away from the Red Keep, she went there anyway = In the last episode Arya went into the Red Keep anyway.
