Dear teachers,
Can you help me with the following question?Thank you very much!
-----You must have gone through many tough things?What's the hardest one in your career?
-----It was when I had to convince my parents about my career choice.
Can we use"that"to replace"when"?Why or why not?Thanks again!

No,

Because the person went through tough times, "when" is the appropriate response.
