| Nov 26, 2016 at 10:27 | comment | added | A-friend | Thank you again, Andrew. It was helpful. So I got the point and based on my taking I'd better use "bad / not good" in the scenario I painted. :) | |
| Nov 22, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | Andrew | @A-friend interesting question. I generally use "bad" or "not good" time to suggest the moment is inconvenient. "Not right" or "wrong" time suggests the moment is inappropriate or not advantageous. For example, "Now is not a good time to ask the boss for a raise" suggests another time might be ok (e..g. now he's in a bad mood). "Now is not the right time to ask the boss for a raise" is similar but suggests you should strategize more and consider what might be a better time and method to ask. | |
| Nov 22, 2016 at 9:31 | comment | added | A-friend | Thank you very much, Andrew! What about "right" and "wrong" time; For instance: "You raised this matter just at the right time" OR "You brought up this matter just at the wrong time."? Do they sound natural to you? | |
