Hi. A student provided me with the following example to test my boundless knowledge of grammar,
A rich man will probably choose a window seat to enjoy the view when eating.
His question regarding the 'when eating' is if the 'when' is a conjunction, where is the complete clause following it? Should the clause be, 'When he is eating something', where the extra words are unnecessary and therefore redundant?
Thanks for any help, Skele.
