（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。

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。

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。

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.
