Remember!!! This is intended for OPTIONAL EFFECTS only (an action which requires your placet/input).
Consider cards as "Radiant Jeral" or "Skull-Mark Ladybug". Both cards trigger in "when".
If you tribute these cards you can activate their effects. Indeed these effects do not require any action and they are applied automatically (no optional effect).
Keep in mind all mandatory effects these days use "if" rather than "when", though. It's only when you get to older cards like the ones you mentioned that that distinction even matters.

If i understand if this effect trigger in the middle of the effect the another Card do you miss the time to active him?
Hey all unconstructive people here who are frustrated explaining things to people who maybe are just trying to truly understand.... don't comment if it bothers you. Your life will be more complete. To those who keep supporting understanding of the game.... you all are very much appreciated.
Missing the timing: Because the effect of "Pinch Hopper" effect is an optional "when... you can" Trigger Effect, "Pinch Hopper" being sent to the Graveyard has to be the very last thing that happened in order for you to activate its effect. So if you Tribute "Pinch Hopper" for a Tribute Summon, you cannot activate the effect of "Pinch Hopper" because the last thing to happen will be the Summoning of the Tribute monster. Also, if you Tribute "Pinch Hopper" for "Cannon Soldier", the very last thing that happened will be the 500 points of damage inflicted to your opponent, so the effect of "Pinch Hopper" will not activate.
