Dobry den, rada bych se zeptala, zda existuje nejake pravidlo, kdy pouzit when a naopak while…Nedavno jsem narazila na prehled gramatiky pro Past Continuous – zde je psano, ze v pripade uziti while nasleduje akce v past continuous – a v pripade uziti when, nasleduje past simple. Jako priklad uvadim konkretni vetu a zaroven i vyklad pravidla :
****While I was cleaning my room, she came home. When she came home, I was cleaning my room.****
While vs. When Clauses are groups of words which have meaning, but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word “when” such as “when she called” or “when it bit me.” Other clauses begin with “while” such as “while she was sleeping” and “while he was surfing.” When you talk about things in the past, “when” is most often followed by the verb tense Simple Past, whereas “while” is usually followed by Past Continuous. “While” expresses the idea of “during that time.” Study the examples below. They have similar meanings, but they emphasize different parts of the sentence.
ale v me ucebnici Anglictiny jsem narazila na souveti:
Carol broke her arm last weak. It happened when she was painting her room.
