713　when，while和 as

① when，while和as都可以引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，表示在一個(gè)時(shí)間段內(nèi)某個(gè)動(dòng)作正在發(fā)生，從句中用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。

As I was sitting under a tree，I found a bag. 我坐在一棵樹下時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只包。

② when既可以表示一個(gè)時(shí)間段，也可以表示一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)；句中謂語動(dòng)詞既可以是延續(xù)性的，也可以是非延續(xù)性的；表示一個(gè)時(shí)間段時(shí)，從句謂語動(dòng)詞用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，表示一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)時(shí)，從句謂語動(dòng)詞根據(jù)具體情況用一般過去時(shí)或一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。when從句謂語動(dòng)詞為延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞時(shí)，可同while，as換用。when從句謂語動(dòng)詞為非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，主句謂語動(dòng)詞為延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞時(shí)，不可同while，as替換。

When/While/As I was having supper，someone knocked at the door. 我在吃晚飯時(shí)，有人敲門。（was having supper表示一個(gè)時(shí)間段，have為延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞）

It was twelve o'clock when she went to bed. 她是12點(diǎn)鐘上床睡的。（went to bed表示一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)）

提示

①when作疑問副詞用時(shí)，表示一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)，句中謂語動(dòng)詞要用一般過去時(shí)，不可用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。

When have you come？

When did you come？

你什么時(shí)候來的？

②如果when從句謂語是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，主句謂語動(dòng)詞也是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，when與as可換用，表示“正當(dāng)這時(shí)”，as在時(shí)間上更緊湊。

She entered just as/when I opened the door. 我一開門，她就進(jìn)來了。

③when還可以表示“雖然，既然”等意。

She walked when she might take a taxi. 她雖然可以坐出租車，但仍然步行。

③ while只能表示一個(gè)時(shí)間段，謂語動(dòng)詞只能是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞或狀態(tài)動(dòng)詞，不能是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞；引導(dǎo)的從句常用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，表示一個(gè)動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行時(shí)，另外發(fā)生了什么事。

④ as表示兩個(gè)短促的行為、事件同時(shí)發(fā)生或交替進(jìn)行，有時(shí)表示“一邊……一邊……”。as從句中的時(shí)態(tài)可以是進(jìn)行時(shí)，也可以是一般時(shí)。
