Anonymous users2024-02-06Let's figure out the difference between while and when first.
When something can be instantaneous, things can happen at the same time or sequentially.
while is used for concomitant and simultaneous persistence.
Usage of while and when in the past continuous tense: Indicates that two persistent actions occurred at the same time in the past. The continuous action is in the past tense, which is naturally going to +ing, and the transient action is generally in the past tense, so it is not +ing
Therefore, it is the action after while +ing, and the action after when is generally not +ing
was doing my homework when someone knocked at the door.

he was waiting at the bus stop,the traffic accident happened.(The clause after while must be in the continuous tense).
i was reading ,my sister was sleeping.(Indicates contrast, both are used in continuous tense).

Anonymous users2024-02-05Summary. When and while both denote when ......time, but when can indicate a certain time or a certain period of time, but while can only represent a certain period of time, not a certain point of time. For example:
when i was eating an apple,my mom came home.While I was eating the apple, my mom came home. while you are playing football,your mom called you.
When you play football, your mom gives you a s***! The former when refers to what happens later while eating, while the time-guided adverbial clause refers to what happens later during the kicking!

Because there are things that you are more nostalgic for in the past, you are reluctant to forget everything in the past, the reality is cruel to you, and the past is beautiful, because a little bit of the past has warmed you, maybe so.
Because you have loved, you will not become an enemy; Because I have been hurt, I won't be friends; It can only be the most familiar strangers. Love has been known, drunk has been drunk. The memories of love should be well collected, but the happiness in the future should be found separately. >>>More
Now it's all about starting a business first and then starting a family, why in the past, why could you start a family first and then start a business? Because, the current social science and technology are constantly advancing, much more pressure than the past social competition, if you don't work hard when you are young, do not put the work in the center of gravity, you will fall behind.
