when和while的用法区别
解题思路: 见下
解题过程:
(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,我正在做家庭作业。
(四)几种常见情况。
1、A woman saw it happen when she was walking past.
  一位女子经过正好看见这件事发生。
  这是一般过去时和过去进行时比较典型的搭配,表示一个动作在发生的过程中,又有另一个动作发生,when引导的是一个时间状语从句。
例如:
(1)、Jane hurt her leg when she was swimming She didn’t notice the big rock in the river.
  简游泳时伤了腿,她没有注意到河里的大石头。
(2)、Tom dropped his camera when he was passing the bridge.
  汤姆过桥时不慎将照相机掉了下去。
2、While we were talking, the teacher came in.
  我们正谈话的时候,老师进来了。
  这是个复合句。其中while we were talking 是由while引导的时间状语从句。这里while表示主句的动作是发生在从句所表示的时间之中。显然,while 所表示的是一段时间,不是表示一点时间。试比较:
(1)、They were sweeping the floor when the teacher came in.
   老师进来时(这一时刻),他们在擦地板。
(2)、While they were sweeping the floor, the teacher came in.
   他们正擦地板时(这段时间),老师进来了。
3. when还可以构成句式结构 sb had hardly /scarcely done sth when....=hardly/scarcely had sb done sth when...刚一...就...。例如:
4. when还可以够成sb be doing...when...正在做某事这时...或 sb be about to do...when......某人正要做某事这时...例如:
I was having breakfast when someone knocked the door.
我正在吃早餐这时有人敲门。
I was about to go out when the telephone rang.
我正要出门这时电话响了。
I had hardly/scarcely closed my eyes when someone knocked the door.=Hardly/scarcely had I closed my eyes when someone knocked the door.
我刚一闭上眼睛就有人敲门。
