while用法
while用法如下:
While作为并列连词,意思为“而,然而”,表前后意义上的对比或转折。如:Some people waste food while others haven't enough有些人浪费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。while用作名词时,意为“一段时间,一会儿":l stayed there for a short while我在那儿呆了一小会儿。
while引导状语从句:
1、while引导的时间状语从句既可放在句首,也可放在句末;而while引导的让步状语从句一般放在句首,不放在句末。另外,也可以从意义上加以区分,例如:While he was tired,he went on working虽然他累了,但他还是继续工作。
2、while引导让步状语从句时,如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同,那么从句的主语和谓语动词be都可以省略。例如:While he was ill, he went there虽然他有病,但他还是去那里了。
3、while引导的状语从句还可以表示“某个动作正在进行的同时,另一个动作也在进行之中”。例如:While the teacher was speaking,the students were listening老师讲课时,学生们在听。
表示同时:
表示而……的意味时,主句和从句的时态是一致的,即可以都是一般现在时,又可以都是一般过去时,如:
I like playing football while Jim likes playing basketball.
我喜欢踢足球,然而吉姆喜欢打篮球。
Yesterday my parents went to the cinema while I stayed at home.
昨天爸爸,妈妈去看电影了,而我呆在家里在。
