《What were you doing when the rainstorm came?》PPT課件6

Revision: ?when vs. while?

這兩個詞都有“當…的時候”的意思。

when 既可指某一點時間, 也可以指一段時間;?

while 強調(diào)一段時間, 所以從句的謂語動詞常是延續(xù)性的。

當 when表示“在某一段時間里” 的意思時, 它可以代替

while, 但while不能代替when.

e.g. When I came home, she was cooking dinner.

當我到家時, 她正在做飯。

When you hang wet clothes near a fire, you will see?

steam rising from them.

當你把濕衣服掛在火邊時, 你會看到水汽從衣服上升起。
