Grammar fix
when it comes to
regarding / as far as X is concerned
Used to introduce the topic you want to talk about, or to focus on a specific aspect of something.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
When it comes to technology, my dad is completely lost.
When it comes to education, I believe my country offers a lot of opportunities, especially at university level. However, there’s still room for improvement in primary schools.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: When it comes to cook, she's the best.
Say: When it comes to cooking, she's the best.
'When it comes to' is followed by a noun or -ing, not a bare verb.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
