when – to wake up, to get up, to go to bed, to work at the library, to have one's exams, to leave for the University, to have dinner;

what – to have for supper as a rule, to keep in one's bookcase, to look through in the morning, to call a room where you sleep;

who – to wake you up, to examine the students of that group, to help you with your English, to make breakfast for you.
