        As answered on your other similar question:

        F is not E#, they only sound the same. It’s because you can higher and lower naturals with flats and sharps.

        So E sharp and F sound the same, but so do:
        E and Fb
        G# and Ab
        D## and E
        A# and Cbb
        Although double sharp or flat notes are rare, they do exist.

        When to use F or E sharp depends on the scale or chord or key you want to play.
