time available or available time

Post by grammarguy »

I am going to make up two sentences below.

(1) I will let you know when I will have more available time.

(2) I will let you know when I will have more time available.

I am not sure which one sounds natural to native English speakers. Thanks for your help.

By convention, in the case of this particular adjective (available), the postnominal form (2) happens to be more idiomatic.
