When

Hello,

1. I was reading a book when some one knocked the door.

In the above sentence 'when' functions a subordinator conjunction and introduce an adverbial clause of time.

Is it correct?

2. I don't know when he will come.

Here the part of the sentence in bold functions a noun clause ??

Could anyone explain it?

Thanks.
