在本单元中, 出现了以when和while引导的 时间状语从句。

1) 延续性动词和非延续性动词

延续性动词指动作可以延续一段时间, 而不是瞬间结束。 如: work、study、drink、eat等。 非延续性动词指动作极为短暂，瞬间结束。 如: start、begin、hit、jump、knock等。

2) 以when和while引导的时间状语从句 when表示“当 的时候”。when从句中 多用非延续性动词, 表示动作, when从句中的动作 在主句的动作之时或是状态进行之中 发生。如： Mary was knocking at the door when I saw her . The boy was still sleeping when his mother got home yesterday morning .

while表示“在 的时候、与...同时”、“在 期间” 它强调主句的动作与从句的动作同时发生或 主句的动作发生在从句的动作过程中。While 从句中必须是延续性动词。如： The weather was fine while we were in Beijing . She called while I was out. 如果主句的动作在从句的动作过程中发生， 从句常用进行时。如: While we were swimming someone stole our clothes . Don’t talk so loud while others are working.

when和while都可表示“当……的

时候”,引导时间状语从句。你知道两者在过去进行时中的用法有什么不同吗？
