    Not sure if this is the best explanation, but I’ll try:

    Wenn is used in cases like “when I go to the store” or “if I go to the store”.

    Wann is used in cases like “when are you going to the store?”

      Ah, I think I get it, kind of refering to a specific clock time vs a hypothetical situational time? Like im vs in vaguely, same word but used in different contexts? Thanks!

        Kinda, “wann” is used when you’re asking about a specific time and “wenn” is used when you state something. You can think of it like this: “When (wann) do you have time?” - “When (wenn) I’m done with work today”.
