When does the bank open?
I want to ask what time the bank opens. I thought the last one (#3) is correct, but I saw in a book that the first one (#1) is correct. Is it possible the second one (#2) would be correct?
Basically, my question is: Which one or ones are correct?
Best Answer
The first and the third are correct, but mean different things:
Answer: Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm.
Answer: Tomorrow at 8am.
The first question asks for the bank's business hours, the other for the point in time when the bank opens up for the day.
Edit as requested:
Answer: When an employee has opened the safe, booted the computer system, straightened his tie, unlocked the door and turned the "we're open/closed" sign.
This sentence is completely different from the other two: It asks for the "opened state" not for a time. It can be used, but is arguably the rarest of the three.
