If that's true, it seems OK to use it in letters written by and to Indian people. Perhaps some person from India would like to comment on this? Best wishes, Clive Hi Clive, Your observation is correct. The term 'leave' is very common in India, and people will be reluctant to use the term 'vacation'. I would say it boils down to the workplace culture, and managers in our country often wouldn't want their employees go on vacation since the term 'vacation' singnals that the employees are going to travel for pleasure.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LaborLost/zwndm/post.htm#460890Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:42:13 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:460890rishonlyHoa Thai wrote: One thing I have learned is that we must try harder to convey our thoughts to help the moderators help us.

Hi, Your example is fine to me and it doesn't violate any grammar rules. The tricky part is identifying the function of "when" in sentences. If "when" is used as a time adverbial conjunction in a sentence, then "when...will" construction in the subordinate clause is wrong. Nonetheless, in your example, "when" is not a time adverbial conjunction rather it just begins an indirect question. So, it is OK to use "will" after "when" in the indirect questions. For example, the following sentences are indirect statements and "when" begins an indirect question. In these sentences, the usage of "when" after "will" is valid.

In a day or two, the old fellow died. Two days later as the funeral was finishing up, the wife slipped up to the casket and was seen dropping an envelope into the casket just before it was closed. One of her friends stopped her and said, "You really didn't put all that money into the casket did you?" "Of course, I did," she replied.
