Grammatically speaking, only the 'if' is conditional; with 'when', the eventual occurrence of the warm water is assured.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhenIf/lrvm/post.htm#54152Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:14:15 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:54152hanuman_20001http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhenIf/lrvm/post.htm#54152http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-54152.xmlSir, When we heat water,it gets warm.
