[time] or [times]

Post by ansonman »

I have made up the sentences below.

(1a) What time do the morning and afternoon shifts start?
(1b) What times do the morning and afternoon shifts start?

(2a) What time are your next two job interviews?
(2b) What times are your next two job interviews?

"time" can be both countable and uncountable. I am not sure which form works in my examples. Please help me. Thank you very much.

For plural cases, where the times are known/expected to be different: At what times do....?
