Hello, native English speakers,
Do you use (a) and (b) interchangeably?
(a) The song reminds him of the time he was in California.
(b) The song reminds him of the time when he was in California.
An American person in another site says this:
We would use the word, that or a comma, not the word, when.
The song reminds him of the time, he was in California.
The song reminds him of the time that he was in California.
I don't think "The song reminds him of the time, he was in California." is correct.
What do you think? Is it true that Americans don't say "the time when he was in California"?
