When or if question
I wonder if/when they will have the races again next year?Do you know when/if the bookstore closes today?Can I use "when" in the first sentence? And "if" in the second sentence?Thank you in advance

Question

Answer

1. yes
2. Yes but it is sounds strange because at least in the USA, I don't know of any 24 hour bookstores. Every bookstore will have a closing time every day; thus, to ask  " do you know if the bookstore closes today" is strange. Better to say "do you know when the bookstore closes?"
