when和while的区别

when与while的用法与区别

（一）、when，while都有“当……时候”的意思。

when既可表示某一点时间，也可以表示某一段时间。

在when引导的时间状语从句中，其谓语动词可以是延续性的，也可以是非延续性的，可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生，也可在其后发生。

例如：

1、I was just reading a book when she came into my room.

她走进我房间时，我正在看书。

2、Were you writing when the teacher came in?

老师进来的时候，你在写信吗？

3、When he was a child he was always trying out new ideas.

他小时候就常常试验一些新的设想。

（二）、while只能表示某一段时间，不能表示某一点时间。在while引导的时间状语从句中，其谓语动词只能是延续性的，而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在。

例如：

1、While Jim was mending his bike, Lin Tao came to see him.

正当吉姆修自行车时，林涛来看他。

2、You can’t do your homework while you’re watching TV.

你不能一边看电视一边做家庭作业。

（三）、另外，when和while的区别还在于：while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态，而when引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态。

例如：

1、While they were talking , the bell rang.

正在他们谈话的时候，上课铃响了。

2、I was doing my homework when my mother came back home yesterday evening.

昨天晚上妈妈回家的时候，我正在做家庭作

注意：

1) 如主句谓语动词表示的是短暂动作，从句时间状语指一段时间，when while as 三者可通用。

例如：

Peter came in while /as I was watching TV.当Peter进来的时候我正在看电视。

I was watching TV when Peter came in. 当Peter进来时我正在看电视。

2) as 和when 可与非延续性动词连用，而while 只能与延续性动词连用。

例如：He came in when/ as I was going to bed.我正要上床睡觉，他进来了。

3) as 和while可用来指一段时间，但as 强调主句与从句表示的动作同时发生，while强调主句表示的动作是在while 从句的动作延续中发生。

例如：

As my mother sang those old songs, tears ran down her cheeks.

当我妈妈唱起那些老歌时，眼泪顺着她的脸颊流了下来。

I came in while he was reading an interesting book in his room.

when和while的区别

①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间；

while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。

②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。

③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；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，如：

a. When the teacher came in, we were talking.

当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为：

While we were talking, the teacher came in.

b. They were singing while we were dancing.

④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如：

a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike.

孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。

b. He is strong while his brother is weak.

他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。

具体你可以参考这一段。

when，while，as引导时间状语从句的区别

when，while，as显然都可以引导时间状语从句，但用法区别非常大。

一、when可以和延续性动词连用，也可以和短暂性动词连用；而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。

①Why do you want a new job when youve got such a good one already？（get为短暂性动词）你已经找到如此好的工作，为何还想再找新的？

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。

③Strike while the iron is hot．（is为延续性动词，表示一种持续的状态）趁热打铁。

④The students took notes as they listened．（listen为延续性动词）学生们边听课边做笔记。

二、when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生；while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。

1．从句动作在主句动作前发生，只用when。

①When he had finished his homework，he took a short rest．（finished先发生）当他完成作业后，他休息了一会儿。

②When I got to the airport，the guests had left．（got to后发生）当我赶到飞机场时，客人们已经离开了。

2．从句动作和主句动作同时发生，且从句动作为延续性动词时，when，while，as都可使用。

①When ／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。

②When ／While ／As she was making a phonecall，I was writing a letter．（make为延续性动词）当她在打电话时，我正在写信。

3．当主句、从句动作同时进行，从句动作的时间概念淡化，而主要表示主句动作发生的背景或条件时，只能用as。这时，as常表示“随着……”；“一边……，一边……”之意。

①As the time went on，the weather got worse．（as表示“随着……”之意）

②The atmosphere gets thinner and thinner as the height increases．随着高度的增加，大气越来越稀薄。

③As years go by，China is getting stronger and richer．随着时间一年一年过去，中国变得越来越富强了。

④The little girls sang as they went．小姑娘们一边走，一边唱。

⑤The sad mother sat on the roadside，shouting as she was crying．伤心的妈妈坐在路边，边哭边叫。

4．在将来时从句中，常用when，且从句须用一般时代替将来时。

①You shall borrow the book when I have finished reading it．在我读完这本书后，你可以借阅。

②When the manager comes here for a visit next week，Ill talk with him about this．下周，经理来这参观时，我会和他谈谈此事。

三、when用于表示“一……就……”的句型中（指过去的事情）。

sb．had hardly（＝scarcely）done sth．when．．．＝Hardly ／Scarcely had sb．done sth．when．．．

①I had hardly ／scarcely closed my eyes when someone knocked at the door．＝Hardly ／Scarcely had I closed my eyes when someone knocked at the door．我刚一闭上眼，就有人在敲门了。

②I had hardly ／scarcely entered my room when the telephone rang．＝Hardly ／Scarcely had I entered my room when the telephone rang．我刚一走进房门，电话就响了。

when, while, as区别详解

一、根据从句动作的持续性来区分

1. “主短从长”型：即主句是一个短暂性的动作，而从句是一个持续性动作，此时三者都可用。如：

Jim hurt his arm while [when, as] he was playing tennis.吉姆打网球时把手臂扭了。

As [When, While] she was waiting for the train, she became very impatient.她在等火车时，变得很不耐烦。

注意：as用于引出一个持续性动词表示“在……期间”时，其谓语通常只能是那些含有动作(action)和发展(development)意味的动词，一般不能是那些不用于进行时态的动词(如be, seem, love, want, agree, see, know, have等)，所以下面一句中的while 不能换为as：

A：I'm going to the post office.我要去邮局。

B：While you are there, can you get me some stamps?当你在邮局时，能帮我买几张邮票吗?

2. “主长从长”型：即主句和从句为两个同时进行的动作或存在的状态，且强调主句动作或状态延续到从句所指的整个时间，此时通常要用while。如：

I always listen to the radio while I'm driving.我总是一边开车一边听收音机。

He didn't ask me in; he kept me standing at the door while he read the message.他没有让我进去，他只顾看那张条子，让我站在门口等着。

但是，若主句和从句所表示的两个同时进行的动作含有“一边……一边”之意时，则习惯上要用as。如：

He swung his arms as he walked.他走路时摆动着手臂。

I couldn't remember a story to tell the children, so I made one up as I went along.我想不出有什么故事可给孩子讲了，只好现编现讲。

3. “主长从短”型：即主句是一个持续性动作，而从句是一个短暂性动作，此时可以用as或when，但不能用while。如：

It was raining hard when [as] we arrived.我们到达时正下着大雨。

When [As] he came in, I was listening to the radio.他进来时，我在听收音机。

二、根据主句与从句动作是否同时发生来区分

1. 若主句与从句表示的是两个同时发生的短暂性动作，含有类似汉语“一……就”的意思，英语一般要用as (也可用when)。如：

The ice cracked as[when]I stepped onto it.我一踩冰就裂了。

He jumped to his feet as the boss came in.老板一进来他立刻站了起来。

但是，在hardly [scarcely]…when…句式中，不能将when换成as。如：

Scarcely had we arrived, when it began to rain.我们刚一到就下起雨来了。

2. 若主句与从句表示的是两个几乎同时发生的短暂性动作，含有类似汉语“刚要……就”“正要……却”的意思，英语一般要用as(也可用when)，且此时通常连用副词just。如：

I caught him just when [as] he was leaving the building.他正要离开大楼的时候，我把他截住了。

Just as [when] the two men were leaving, a message arrived.就在这两个人要离开的时候，突然有了消息。

三、根据是否具有伴随变化来区分

若要表示主句动作伴随从句动作同时发展变化，有类似汉语“随着”的意思，英语习惯上要用as，而不用when或while。如： The room grew colder as the fire burnt down.随着炉火逐渐减弱，房间越来越冷。

As time goes by my memory seems to get worse.随着时间的流逝，我的记忆力似乎越来越差。

注：若不是引导从句，而是引出一个短语，则用with，不用as。如：

With winter coming on, it's time to buy warm clothes.随着冬天到来，该买暖和衣裳了。

The shadows lengthened with the approach of sunset.随着太阳下落，影子也逐渐伸长。

四、根据从句动作的规律性来区分

若暗示一种规律性，表示“每当……的时候”，英语一般要用when。如：

It's cold when it snows.下雪时天冷。

He smiles when you praise him.你夸奖他时他总是笑笑。

五、根据主从句动作的先后顺序来区分

若主句与从句所表示的动作不是同时发生，而是有先后顺序时，一般要用when。如：

When he arrives he'll tell us all about the match.等他到了，他会好好给我们讲讲那场比赛的情况。

When she had finished she waited as though for a reply.她讲完之后等了等，仿佛是在等候回答似的。

六、根据是否具有“趁机”意味来区分

1. 若从句所表示的“当……的时候”具有“趁机”的意味，则通常用while。如：

Strike while the iron is hot.趁热打铁。

I tried to slip the note to him while the teacher wasn't looking.我想趁老师不注意时把条子偷偷递给他。

有时也用when。如：

He stole the money when no one was by.他趁旁边无人时把钱偷走了。

The boy looks at her repeatedly when she's not looking.那男孩趁她没看他的时候不断地盯着她看。

七、根据是否用作并列连词来区分

when可用作并列连词，表示“这时(突然)”；while也可以用作并列连词，表示“而”“却”(表示对比)；但as则没有类似用法。如：

I was just about to go to bed when I heard a knock on the door.我正要睡觉，听见有人敲门。

One person may like to spend his vacation at the seashore, while another may prefer the mountains.一个人会喜欢在海滨度假，而另一个人会喜欢在山里度假。

八、根据所引出的省略句来区分

1. as和when之后均可直接跟一个名词，构成省略句；但是while一般不这样用。如：

As [When] a boy, he lived in Japan.他小时候在日本。

As [When] still a student, he wrote a novel.当他还是个学生的时候，他就写了一本小说。

2. when和while之后可接现在分词、介词短语、形容词等构成省略句，但as一般不这样用。如：

When [While] reading, he fell asleep.他看书时睡着了。

When [While] in trouble, ask her for help.遇到麻烦的时候你就去找她帮忙。

You must study hard while (you are) young, or you will regret when (you are) old.你趁年轻时必须努力学习，不然到老了你会后悔的。

when,while,as的区别和用法

三者可表示“当……时候”，区别如下：

(1) 若主句表示的是一个短暂性动作，从句表示的是一个持续性动作，三者都可用：

He fell asleep when [while, as] he was reading. 他看书时睡着了。

【注】as 用于引出一个持续性动词表示“在……期间”时，其谓语通常只能是那些含有动作(action)和发展(development) 意味的动词，一般不能是那些不用于进行时态的动词(如be, seem, love, want, agree, see, know, have 等)，所以下面一句中的while 不能换为as：

A：I’m going to the post office. 我要去邮局。

B：While you’re there, can you get me some stamps? 当你在邮局时，能帮我买几张邮票吗?

(2) 若主、从句表示两个同时进行的持续性动作，且强调主句表示的动作延续到从句所指的整个时间，通常要用while：

Don’t talk while you’re eating. 吃饭时不要说话。

I kept silent while he was writing. 在他写的时候，我默不作声。

但是，若主从句表示的两个同时进行的动作含有“一边…一边”之意思，通常用as：

She sang as she went along. 她边走边唱。

(3) 若从句是一个短暂性动作，主句是一个持续性动作，可用as / when 但不用while：

It was raining hard when [as] we arrived. 我们到达时正下着大雨。

(4) 若主从句表示的是两个同时(或几乎同时)发生的短暂性动作，用as / when：

I thought of it just when [as] you opened your mouth. 就在你要说的时候，我也想到了。

(5) 若要表示两个正在发展变化的情况，相当于汉语的“随着”，一般用as：

Things are getting better and better as time goes on. 随着时间的推移，情况越来越好。

As it grew darker, it became colder. 天色越晚，天气越冷。

(6) 表示“每当…的时候”(暗示一种规律性)，一般要用when：

It’s cold when it snows. 下雪时天冷。

He smiles when you praise him. 你夸奖他时他总是笑笑。

(7) 若主从句所表示的动作不是同时发生，而是有先后顺序时，一般要用when：

I will go home when he comes back. 他回来时，我就回家去。

(8) when 可用作并列连词，表示“这时(突然)”；while 也可以用作并列连词，表示“而”、“却”(表示对比)；但as 则没有类似用法：

We were about to start when it began to rain. 我们正要出发，这时天开始下雨了。

He likes coffee, while she likes tea. 他喜欢咖啡，而她却喜欢茶。

(9) as 和when 后均可直接跟一个名词，构成省略句，但while 一般不这样用：

As [When] a boy, he lived in Japan. 他小时候在日本。

(10) when 和while 后可接现在分词、介词短语、形容词等构成省略句，但as 一般不这样用：

When [While] reading, he fell asleep. 他看书时睡着了。

When [While] in trouble, ask her for help. 遇到麻烦的时候你就去找她帮忙。

when 与 while 用法解析

连接词when与while是一对常与过去进行时合作的twins。但正如世界上没有两片完全相同的树叶一样，when与while在有着某些相似之处的同时，彼此也各有一些区别于对方的截然不同的“独特个性”。Do you want to know the differences between them？请看——

● when 解析版

［引导时间状语从句］具体地说，它有以下几种含义：

1．表明一个动作发生的时候，另一个动作正在进行之中。例如：

When the teacher came into the classroom ，we were reading English．当老师走进教室时，我们正在读英语。

2．表明当某一动作正在进行时，另一动作发生了。如：

When Kate was flying a kite，she found a wallet lying on the ground．凯特正在放风筝时，她发现地上有个钱包。

［特别提示］当when从句放在主句之后时，它更强调某一动作的突然性，此时的when相当于and then，and suddenly，just at that time。如；

1．We were watching TV when the telephone rang．（＝We were watching TV and suddenly the telephone rang．）我们正在看电视，（突然）电话铃响了。

试比较：When we were watching TV， the telephone rang．我们正在看电视时，电话铃响了。

2．The boys were playing football when it began to rain．男孩子们正在踢球时，（不料）开始下雨了。

3．I was taking a walk when I came across Lily．我正在散步时，（没想到）遇见了莉莉。

特别是主句中有just，或when从句中有suddenly时，这种突然性更为明显、强烈。例如：

4．He was just falling asleep when he heard someone shout，“Stop the thief！”他刚要入睡，突然听到有人喊：“抓贼！”

5．We were doing our homework at school last night when the lights went out．昨天晚上我们正在学校写作业时，灯（突然）灭了。

［相关链接］when引导的状语从句除了上述意义之外，也常具有其他一些含义：

1．一……就……（＝as soon as）

We will stand up when the teacher comesin．老师一进来我们就起立。

2．虽然；然而；可是（＝although）

We had only five boxes when we needed eight．我们需要八个箱子，可是只有五个。

3．每当……（＝whenever）

It is always very hot here when it is summer．每当夏季，这儿总是很热。

4．既然（＝since，as）

Why did you come here on foot when you know you should come by bike？既然你知道该骑自行车来，你为何还要步行呢？

● while 解析版

while引导状语从句，有以下两种含义：

1．表示某个动作正在进行的同时，另一动作也在进行之中，这时主从句都用进行时态，有对同类的两个动作进行对比的意

味。如：

While I was playing the piano，she was dancing．我在弹钢琴，她在跳舞。

While Jim is picking apples，Kate is carrying apples to the truck．吉姆正在摘苹果，凯特正在把苹果搬到卡车上去。

2．表示某个动作正在进行时，又发生了另一动作（该动作用一般过去时）。如：

While I was reading，I fell asleep．我读着读着就睡着了。

While we were swimming in the river，we saw a fish jump out of the water．我们正在河中游泳时，看见一条鱼跃出了水面。［相关链接］

while还有以下几种常见用法：

1．只要（＝as long as）

There will be life while there is water and air．只要有空气和水，就会有生命。

2．而；然而［表示对比］

He is a driver while I'm a teacher．他是司机，而我是老师。

3．虽然（＝although）；尽管［表示让步］

While I see what you say，I can't agree with you．虽然我能理解你说的话，但是我不能同意你。

4．用作名词，表示“一会儿或一段时间”，常与a，the或this等连用。如：

Just wait a while and then I will help you．等一下，我会来帮你的。

Where have you been all this while？这一阵子你一直都在哪儿？

● when 与 while 区别版

综上所述，我们可以看出when与while本质的区别在于：when既可以指某一点时间，也可以指某一段时间，其从句谓语动词表示的动作既可以是瞬间性的、非延续性的，也可以是延续性的；while指一段时间，从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性的。即：指一段时间时，when可用while来代替；指一点时间时，when不能用 while来代替。试比较：

When he woke up，it was eight o'clock．（√）

While he woke up，it was eight o'clock．（×）

When I was waiting for a bus，I met her．（√）

While I was waiting for a bus，I met her．（√）

1．当我们到达火车站时，天正下着雪。

2．孩子们正在做游戏，突然铃响了。

3．爸爸在洗车时，妈妈在做饭。

4．琳达正在跑步时伤了自己的左腿。

WHEN与WHILE用法区别

WHEN与WHILE用法区别 when, while这三个词都有"当……时候"之意，但用法有所不同，使用时要特别注意。 ①when意为"在……时刻或时期"，它可兼指"时间点"与"时间段"，所引导的从句的动词既可以是终止性动词，也可是持续性动词。如： When I got home, he was having supper.我到家时，他正在吃饭。 When I was young, I liked dancing.我年轻时喜欢跳舞。 ②while只指"时间段"，不指"时间点"，从句的动词只限于持续性动词。如：While I slept, a thief broke in.在我睡觉时,盗贼闯了进来。 辨析 ①when从句与主句动作先后发生时，不能与while互换。如： When he has finished his work, he takes a short rest.每当他做完工作后，总要稍稍休息一下。(when = after) When I got to the cinema, the film had already begun.当我到电影院时，电影已经开始了。(when=before) ②when从句动词为终止性动词时，不能由while替换。如： When he came yesterday, we were playing basketball.昨天他来时，我们正在打篮球。 ③当从句的谓语是表动作的延续性动词时，when, while才有可能互相替代。如：While / When we were still laughing, the teacher came in.正当我们仍在大声嬉笑时，老师进来了。 ④当从句的谓语动词是终止性动词，而且主句的谓语动词也是终止性动词 时,when可和as通用，而且用as比用when在时间上更为紧凑，有"正当这时"的含义。如： He came just as (or when) I reached the door.我刚到门那儿，他就来了。 ⑤从句的谓语动词如表示状态时，通常用while。如： We must strike while the iron is hot.我们应该趁热打铁。 ⑥while和when都可以用作并列连词。

when 和while的用法区别

when 和while的用法区别 两者的区别如下： ①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间； while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。 ②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。 ③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；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，如： a. When the teacher came in, we were talking. 当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为： While we were talking, the teacher came in. b. They were singing while we were dancing. ④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如： a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike. 孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。 b. He is strong while his brother is weak. 他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。 一。引导时间状语从句时，WHILE连接的是时间段，而WHEN连接的多是时间点 例如What does your father do while your mother is cooking? What does your mother do when you come back? 二，WHILE可以连接两个并列的句子，而WHEN不可以 例如I was trying my best to finish my work while my sister was whtching TV 三，WHEN是特殊疑问词，对时间进行提问，WHILE不是。 例如，When were you bron? 续性动词和短暂性动词 英语中的动词，是学习中的重点，又是难点。英语中的动词有多种分类法。根据其有无含义，动词可分为实义动词和助动词；根据动词所表示的是动作还是状态，可以分为行为动词和状态动词；根据动词所表示的动作能否延缓，分为延续性动词和终止性动词。 可以表示持续的行为或状态的动词，叫做“延续性动词”，也叫“持续性动词”，如：be, keep, have, like, study, live, etc. 有的表示短暂、瞬间性的动词，叫做“终止性动词”，也可叫“短暂性动词”，或“瞬间性动词”，如die, join, leave, become, return, reach, etc.

过去进行时、when和while引导时 间状语从句的区别

过去进行时过去进行时表示过去某一时刻或者某段时间正在进行或发生的动作，常和表过去的时间状语连用，如： 1. I was doing my homework at this time yesterday. 昨天的这个时候我正在做作业。 2. They were waiting for you yesterday. 他们昨天一直在等你。 3. He was cooking in the kitchen at 12 o'clock yesterday. 昨天12点，他正在厨房烧饭。 过去进行时的构成： 肯定形式：主语+was/were+V-ing 否定形式：主语+was not (wasn't)/were not (weren't)+V-ing 疑问形式：Was/Were+主语+V-ing。 基本用法： 1. 过去进行时表示过去某一段时间或某一时刻正在进行的动作。常与之连用的时间状语有，at that time/moment, (at) this time yesterday (last night/Sunday/week…), at+点钟+yesterday (last night / Sunday…)，when sb. did sth.等时间状语从句，如： 1）What were you doing at 7p.m. yesterday? 昨天晚上七点你在干什么？ 2）I first met Mary three years ago. She was working at a radio shop at the time. 我第一次遇到玛丽是在三年前，当时她在一家无线电商店工作。 3）I was cooking when she knocked at the door. 她敲门时我正在做饭。 2. when后通常用表示暂短性动词，while后通常用表示持续性动词，而while所引导的状语从句中，谓语动词常用进行时态，如： When the car exploded I was walking past it. = While I was walking past the car it exploded. 3. when用作并列连词时，主句常用进行时态，从句则用一般过去时，表示主句动作发生的过程中，另一个意想不到的动作发生了。如： I was walking in the street when someone called me. 我正在街上走时突然有人喊我。 4. when作并列连词，表示“（这时）突然”之意时，第一个并列分句用过去进行时，when引导的并列分句用一般过去时。如：

when和while的区别是

Period____8______ in Unit ___6_________ （Period_____20_____Week 4-6）Subject _Grammar (B) Teaching aims To use the Past Continuous Tense with while and when correctly Teaching interesting points of this class: The differences of when and while in Past Continuous Tense Teaching steps: I. Cooperation and intercourse 1. Check the preparation 2. Discuss in groups II. Question and explanation Check the exercises on page 101, and explain the differences between when and while. when和while的区别是： when只能用于一般时态 while可以用于进行时态 when conj. 在...的时候, 当…的时候 when 在绝大多数情况下，所引导的从句中，应该使用非延续性动词（也叫瞬间动词） 例如：I'll call you when I get there. 我一到那里就给你打电话 I was about to go out when the telephone rang.我刚要出门，电话铃就响了。 但是，when 却可以be 连用。 例如：I lived in this village when I was a boy. 当我还是个孩子的时候我住在这个村庄里。 When I was young, I was sick all the time. 在我小时候我总是生病 while 当...的时候 While he was eating, I asked him to lend me $2. 当他正在吃饭时,我请他借给我二美元。While I read, she sang. 我看书时，她在唱歌。 while 的这种用法一般都和延续性动词连用 while 可以表示“对比‘，这样用有的语法书认为是并列连词 Some people like coffee, while others like tea. 有些人喜欢咖啡, 而有些人喜欢茶。 as 当...之时，一边......一边....... I slipped on the ice as I ran home. 我跑回家时在冰上滑了一跤 He dropped the glass as he stood up. 他站起来时，把杯子摔了。 She sang As she worked. 她一边工作一边唱歌。 III. Rumination and evaluation when, as, while这三个词都可以引出时间状语从句，它们的差别是：when 从句表示某时刻或一段时间as 从句表示进展过程，while 只表示一段时间 When he left the house, I was sitting in the garden. 当他离开家时，我正在院子里坐着。 When he arrived home, it was just nine o'clock.

when 和while的用法区别

when 和while的用法区别 ①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间； while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。 ②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。 ③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；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，如： a. When the teacher came in, we were talking. 当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为： While we were talking, the teacher came in. b. They were singing while we were dancing. ④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如： a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike. 孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。 b. He is strong while his brother is weak. 他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。 when，while，as引导时间状语从句的区别 when，while，as显然都可以引导时间状语从句，但用法区别非常大。 一、when可以和延续性动词连用，也可以和短暂性动词连用；而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。 ①Why do you want a new job when youve got such a good one already？（get 为短暂性动词）你已经找到如此好的工作，为何还想再找新的？ 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。 ③Strike while the iron is hot．（is为延续性动词，表示一种持续的状态）趁热打铁。 ④The students took notes as they listened．（listen为延续性动词）学生们边听课边做笔记。 二、when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生；while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。 1．从句动作在主句动作前发生，只用when。 ①When he had finished his homework，he took a short rest．（finished先发生）当他完成作业后，他休息了一会儿。 ②When I got to the airport，the guests had left．（got to后发生）当我赶到飞机场时，客人们已经离开了。 2．从句动作和主句动作同时发生，且从句动作为延续性动词时，when，while，as都可使用。

when while用法区别

While和When在过去进行时中两者的区别如下： ①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间；while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while 从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。 ②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。 ③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；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，如： a. When the teacher came in, we were talking. 当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为： While we were talking, the teacher came in. b. They were singing while we were dancing. ④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如： a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike. 孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。 b. He is strong while his brother is weak. 他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。 when; while 当……时候 while能用when代替; 但是when却不一定能用while代替. while+从句, 动作一定会延续 when+延续性动词/瞬间动词; when he arrived

while、when和as的用法区别

as when while 的区别和用法 as when while的用法 一、as的意思是“正当……时候”,它既可表示一个具体的时间点，也可以表示一段时间。as可表示主句和从句的动作同时发生或同时持续，即“点点重合”“线线重合”；又可表示一个动作发生在另一个动作的持续过程中，即“点线重合”， 但不能表示两个动作一前一后发生。如果主句和从句的谓语动词都表示持续性的动作，二者均可用进行时，也可以一个用进行时，一个用一般时或者都用一般时。 1、As I got on the bus，he got off. 我上车，他下车。（点点重合）两个动作都是非延续性的 2、He was writing as I was reading. 我看书时，他在写字。（线线重合）两个动作都是延续性的 3、The students were talking as the teacher came in. 老师进来时，学生们正在讲话。（点线重合）前一个动作是延续性的，而后一个动作时非延续性的 二、while的意思是“在……同时（at the same time that )”“在……期间(for as long as, during the time that）”。从while的本身词义来看，它只能表示一段时间，不能表示具体的时间点。在时间上可以是“线线重合”或“点线重合”，但不能表示“点点重合”。例如： 1、He was watching TV while she was cooking. 她做饭时，他在看电视。（线线重合） 2、He was waiting for me while I was working. 我工作的时候，他正等着我。（线线重合） 3、He asked me a question while I was speaking. 我在讲话时，他问了我一个问题。（点线重合）

when和while的用法和区别

when和while的用法和区别 while和when都是表示同时，到底句子中是用when还是while主要看从句和主句中所使用的动词是短暂性动作（瞬时动词）还是持续性动作。 1、若主句表示的是一个短暂性的动作，而从句表示的是一个持续性动作时，两者都可用。如：He fell asleep when [while] he was reading. 他看书时睡着了。 I met him when [while] I was taking a walk in the park. 我在公园散步时遇到了他。 2、若主、从句表示两个同时进行的持续性动作，且强调主句表示的动作延续到从句所指的整个时间，通常要用while。如： Don’t talk while you’re eating. 吃饭时不要说话。 I kept silent while he was writing. 在他写的时候，我默不作声。 3、若从句是一个短暂性动作，而主句是一个持续性动作，可以when 但不用while。如：When he came in, I was listening to the radio. 他进来时，我在听收音机。 It was raining hard when we arrived. 我们到达时正下着大雨。 4、若主、从句表示的是两个同时(或几乎同时)发生的短暂性动作，一般要用when。如： I thought of it just when you opened your mouth. 就在你要说的时候，我也想到了。 至于什么是短暂性动作，什么是持续性动作，其实有个很简单的规律。就是如果是进行时态，一般是持续性的。如果是过去式，一般是短暂性动作。 对于，填写when还是while的问题，通常首先看主句和从句中的时态，再根据以上4个规律来判断填写那个单词。 When和While的区别 通常when 后面接一般过去时while 后面接过去进行时 ①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间，while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。 ②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。 ③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；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，如： a. When the teacher came in, we were talking. 当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为： While we were talking, the teacher came in. b. They were singing while we were dancing. ④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如： a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike.

第七--when-while-as-区别及练习.

When while as区别 一、根据从句动作的持续性来区分 1、“主短从长”型：即主句是一个短暂性动作，而从句是一个持续性动作，此时三者都可用。如： Jim hurt his arm while［when， as］ he was playing tennis. 吉姆打网球时把手臂扭伤了。 2、“主长从长”型：即主句和从句为两个同时进行的动作或存在的状态，且强调主句动作或状态延续到从句所指的整个时间，此时通常要用while。 I always listen to the radio while I’m driving. 我总是一边开车一边听收音机。 He didn’t ask me in; he kept me standing at the door while he read the message. 他没有让我进去，他只顾看那张条子，让我站在门口等着。 但是，若主句和从句所表示的两个同时进行的动作含有“一边……一边”之意时，则习惯上要用as。如： He swung his arms as he walked. 他走路时摆动着手臂。 3、“主长从短”型：即主句是一个持续性动作，而从句是一个短暂性动作，此时可以用as 或when，但不能用while。如： It was raining hard when [as] we arrived. 我们到达时正下着大雨。 二、根据主句与从句动作是否同时发生来区分 1、若主句与从句表示的是两个同时发生的短暂性动作，含有类似汉语“一……就”的意思，英语一般要用as (也可用when)。如： The ice cracked as [when] I stepped onto it. 我一踩冰就裂了。 2、若主句与从句表示的是两个几乎同时发生的短暂性动作，含有类似汉语“刚要……就”“正要……却”的意思，英语一般要用as(也可用when)，且此时通常连用副词just。如： I caught him just when [as] he was leaving the building. 他正要离开大楼的时候，我把他截住了。 三、根据是否具有伴随变化来区分 若要表示主句动作伴随从句动作同时发展变化，有类似汉语“随着”的意思，英语习惯上要用as，而不用when或while。如： The room grew colder as the fire burnt down. 随着炉火逐渐减弱，房间越来越冷。 注：若不是引导从句，而是引出一个短语，则用with，不用as。如： With winter coming on, it’s time to buy warm clothes. 随着冬天到来，该买暖和衣裳了。 四、根据从句动作的规律性来区分 若暗示一种规律性，表示“每当……的时候”，英语一般要用when。如： It’s cold when it snows. 下雪时天冷。 五、根据主从句动作的先后顺序来区分 若主句与从句所表示的动作不是同时发生，而是有先后顺序时，一般要用when。

when和while的区别

when与while的用法与区别 （一）、when，while都有“当……时候”的意思。 when既可表示某一点时间，也可以表示某一段时间。 在when引导的时间状语从句中，其谓语动词可以是延续性的，也可以是非延续性的，可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生，也可在其后发生。 例如： 1、I was just reading a book when she came into my room. 她走进我房间时，我正在看书。 2、Were you writing when the teacher came in? 老师进来的时候，你在写信吗？ 3、When he was a child he was always trying out new ideas. 他小时候就常常试验一些新的设想。 （二）、while只能表示某一段时间，不能表示某一点时间。在while引导的时间状语从句中，其谓语动词只能是延续性的，而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在。 例如： 1、While Jim was mending his bike, Lin Tao came to see him. 正当吉姆修自行车时，林涛来看他。 2、You can’t do your homework while you’re watching TV. 你不能一边看电视一边做家庭作业。 （三）、另外，when和while的区别还在于：while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态，而when引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态。 例如： 1、While they were talking , the bell rang. 正在他们谈话的时候，上课铃响了。 2、I was doing my homework when my mother came back home yesterday evening. 昨天晚上妈妈回家的时候，我正在做家庭作 注意： 1) 如主句谓语动词表示的是短暂动作，从句时间状语指一段时间，when while as 三者可通用。 例如： Peter came in while /as I was watching TV.当Peter进来的时候我正在看电视。 I was watching TV when Peter came in. 当Peter进来时我正在看电视。 2) as 和when 可与非延续性动词连用，而while 只能与延续性动词连用。 例如：He came in when/ as I was going to bed.我正要上床睡觉，他进来了。 3) as 和while可用来指一段时间，但as 强调主句与从句表示的动作同时发生，while强调主句表示的动作是在while 从句的动作延续中发生。 例如： As my mother sang those old songs, tears ran down her cheeks. 当我妈妈唱起那些老歌时，眼泪顺着她的脸颊流了下来。 I came in while he was reading an interesting book in his room. when和while的区别 ①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间； while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。 ②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。 ③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都
