区分 when 和while
When /While /As we were dancing,a stranger came in.(dance为延续性动词)当我们跳舞时,一位陌生人走了进来。
②Sorry,I was out when you called me(call为短暂性动词)对不起,你打电话时我刚好外出了。
小结: when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点,也可指一段时间;因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是 ,也可以是 ,
而while是during the time that,只指 ,while从句中的动词必须是 。
另外: ①如果从句和主句的动作同时发生,两句都用过去进行时的时候,多用while引导,②while还有然而的意思
①He is dancing while she is drawing.
②. He is strong while his brother is weak.
他长得很结实而他弟弟却很瘦弱。
常见的短暂性动词有open, close, finish, begin, come, go, arrive, reach, get to, leave, move, borrow, buy, die, knock, ring
