when和while怎样用,什么时候用

如题所述

When和While的区别
1、when是atorduringthetimethat,既指时间点,也可指一段时间,while是duringthetimethat,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.
2、when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.Whentheteachercamein,weweretalking.当此句改变主从句的位置时,则为:Whileweweretalking,theteachercamein.
b.Theyweresingingwhileweweredancing.

4、when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.Thechildrenwererunningtomovethebagofricewhentheyheardthesoundofamotorbike.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.Heisstrongwhilehisbrotherisweak.
他长得很结实,而他弟弟却很瘦弱.

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。

Mike is tall while his brother is short.迈克的个子很高,然而他弟弟很矮。

Mary was on her way home when two big boys stopped her.玛丽正走在回家的路上,这时两个大个子男孩拦住她。
