中二的英文問題.......

(1個長 action + 1個短 action), 用when或者 while 都可以的. 但要留意關鍵字在於"started", 如果沒有此字, "rain"亦可以係長action. 情況有變, 用法都需要改變去配合.



It started to rain = short action 但係



It was raining = long action



......................................................



It started to rain while I was jogging. [CORRECT: 1 short action + 1 long action]



It started to rain when I was jogging. [CORRECT: 1 short action + 1 long action]



While I was jogging it started to rain. [CORRECT: 1 long action + 1 short action]



When I was jogging it started to rain. [CORRECT: 1 long action + 1 short action]



......................................................



while 和 when



分別 (1) - 兩個長 actions



While I was jogging it was raining. [CORRECT: 1 long action + 1 long action]



When I was jogging it was raining. [INCORRECT: 1 long action + 1 long action] 當句子係要帶出兩個長actions同時發生, 就切勿用when, 要用while.

分別 (2) - 兩個短 actions

I thought of it just while you opened your mouth. [INCORRECT]
