"Lorsqu'il est seul, il lit."

Translation: Whenever he is alone, he reads.

Is there any reason "when" isn't a sufficient translation here for "lorsque"?

[georgeoftruth]

No reason. "When" is also accepted now.

[kerstis]

No, it isn't. Even though it should.

[Luqme]

Can we use "quand" to replace "lorsque" here?

[georgeoftruth]

Yes, you can.

[Luqme]

Merci :)

[VadimV42]

When is not accepted !!!

[LeaDavis2]

Why was he's marked wrong. It's the shortened version of ' he is'

[georgeoftruth]

"Whenever he's alone, he reads" is accepted. (You wrote "wherever" in your answer, not "whenever".)

[Chris49077]

Shouldn't 'once he is alone' also be accepted?

[jouissancehaver]

is there a literal translation for 'whenever' in french? because here, 'lorsque' seems to corresponds with both 'whenever' and 'when', but those two words are not quite the same

[jouissancehaver]

as in 'when' and 'whenever' dont quite function the same way in english
