When, while and as can be used as conjunctions of time. They all mean “during the time that”.

Look at the sentences and try to work out the rules.
When a shorter action happened at the same time as a longer action, we use the past continuous tense for the longer action and the simple past tense for the shorter action.
If the shorter action is in the main clause, we can use when, while or as to join them.

Language Points
because of 因为;由于
e.g. Because of you, we have to put the meeting off.
因为你的缘故,我们已把会议推迟了。
过去进行时
我们可以用过去进行时表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作或过去某一阶段一直在进行的动作。如:
I was doing my homework at 8 p.m. last night.
昨晚8点我正在做家庭作业。
What were you doing last month
你上个月一直在做什么?
过去进行时的肯定结构是由“was/were + 现在分词”构成,否定 结构是由“was/were + not + 现在分词”构成。如:
The boy was cleaning the house. 那个男孩在打扫房子。
We were not shopping at this time yesterday.
昨天这个时候我们没在购物。
有些动词通常不用于进行时,主要有:
1. 表示心理状态、情感的动词,如love、hate、like、know等。
2. 部分连系动词,如seem、appear等。
3. 感官动词,如see、hear、feel、smell、sound、taste等。
4. 短暂性动词,如decide、stop等。
when、while和as的用法
when,while和as这三个词均有“当……时候”的意思。
There were fewer sandstorms when my grandparents were young.
我祖父母年轻时沙尘暴要少些。
While Millie was watching TV, her mum was sleeping.
米莉在看电视时她妈妈在睡觉。
I saw a traffic accident as I was riding to school this school.
今天早晨我骑车上学时看见一起交通事故。
when和as既可以指某一点时间,也可以指某一段时间,其从句谓语动词表示的动作既可以是瞬间性的,也可以是延续性的;while指一段时间,从句的谓语动词必须是延续性的。即:指一段时间时,when、while和as都可用;指一点时间时,只能用when或as,不能用while。试比较:
When/As he woke up, it was eight o'clock. ( √ )
While he woke up, it was eight o'clock. (×)
When/While/As I was waiting for a bus, I met her. ( √)
when引导的从句的谓语动作可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生;while和as引导的从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。
When he finished his homework, he played the computer games for a
while. 当他完成作业后,他玩了会儿电脑游戏。(finished先发生)
When I got to the museum, the door was closed.
当我赶到博物馆时,大门已经关上了。(got to后发生)
While/As I was sleeping, the telephone rang.
当我睡觉时,电话响了。(was sleeping和rang同时发生)
当主句、从句动作同时发生且从句动作为延续性动词时,when、while和as都可使用。
When/While/As she was making a phone call, I was writing an email.
当她在打电话时,我正在写一封电子邮件。(make为延续性动词)
When/While/As we were reading, a stranger came in.
当我们正在看书时,一位陌生人走了进来。(read为延续性动词)
强调两个动作同时进行,常用“过去进行时+while+过去进行时”结构。如:
They were rowing boats while we were climbing the hill.
当我们在爬山时,他们在划船。
强调某个动作发生的时候,另一个动作正在进行,常用“一般过去时+while+过去进行时”结构如:
It began to rain heavily while we were having dinner.
我们在吃完饭时,开始下起大雨。
强调某个动作正在进行时,另一个动作突然发生,常用“过去进行时+when+一般过去时”结构。如:
I was walking in the street when he called me.
我正在街上走时,他突然喊我。
当主句、从句动作同时进行,从句动作的时间概念淡化,而主要表示主句动作发生的背景或条件时,只能用as。这时,as有“随着……”;“一边……,一边……”之意。
As years go by, China is getting richer and stronger.
随着时间一年一年过去,中国变得越来越富强了。
The little girls sang as they played. 小姑娘们一边玩,一边唱。
