Huh..I must have done the data entry wrong on this page :). Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix it up asap!

The constructions listed have Adjective, Noun and Verb repeated several times.

I don't mean to comment here, but, I had just Ｐｏｓｔｅｄ my sentence and it disappeared. I can only see it under the MY SENTENCES tab, whereas I can usually see it at the top of the page. Is there something wrong? I would have really liked that sentence to be open for reviews since it was a sentence I wasn't entirely sure about. Thank you for your help in advance!

I see, alright, thanks

This grammar point shows up in the new N3 grammar book (Unicom) saying the constructions are:
動詞: 辞書形 + とき (直前)
動詞:ている形 + とき (最中)
動詞:た形 + とき (直後)

:D

Unfortunately, Japanese doesn't use tense the same way English does, so trying to translate directly will often mess you up. In English, when you're discussing the past, both the main verb and the verbs in any subordinate clauses (things like "when I [b]was[/b] young" will both be past tense. But in Japanese, the tense of any subordinate verbs (or adjectives) depends on their temporal relationship to the main verb. If they are occurring concurrently with the main verb, they will be in the present tense; if they're in the past tense, it means that they occurred [i]before[/i] the main verb. So you'd probably see 若い時 in a sentence like this: 若い時、お寿司が嫌いだった。 When [I was] young, I hated sushi. The main verb, だった, is past tense, so that makes the whole sentence past. 若い is present, not past, because the hating-sushi and the being-young occurred at the same time. As for your other concern - [quote]Maybe in Japanese you can say this but its a little awquard in English to say "When young" unless your saying "When young, people make stupid choices."[/quote] Right - it's awkward in English, but you can say it in Japanese. Japanese tends to omit subjects where they can be reasonably inferred from context. You could theoretically say 私が若い時 or 私の若い時 if you wanted to be really clear about the referent, but you will only really see this kind of word-for-word correspondence with English when... they are trying to approximate English grammar as literally as possible in Japanese, generally in English classes.

excuse me, what is the difference between ..(A:ta form +とき...+B:non past)

and (A:dictionary form+とき..B:non past)

espesially in tests..and also meaning of sentence ...
