There are no set rules about when to retweet, but in general, you should retweet when you find something particularly interesting or noteworthy. For example, if someone you follow tweets something that is absolutely hilarious, that would be a great time to retweet. Or, if you want to let your followers in on a conversation you are having, that would be another good time to retweet. 4, record 1, English, - retweet
