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

Revision:  when vs. while 

这两个词都有“当…的时候”的意思。

when 既可指某一点时间, 也可以指一段时间; 

while 强调一段时间, 所以从句的谓语动词常是延续性的。

当 when表示“在某一段时间里” 的意思时, 它可以代替

while, 但while不能代替when.

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

当我到家时, 她正在做饭。

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

steam rising from them.

当你把湿衣服挂在火边时, 你会看到水汽从衣服上升起。
