Example #1 - There are times when I cannot tell the difference between "A" and "The."
"There are times" Occasionally, if someone is speaking quickly, you are on the phone, etc, you cannot tell the difference between the sound of a and the. But normally you can.

This sentence means that "When English is being spoken" so every time, you are not able to hear the difference.
