1、说到when引导的时间状语从句，不得不提起as和while一、when可以和延续性动词连用，也可以和短暂性动词连用;而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。

2、 ① Why do you want a new job when youve got such a good one already?(get为短暂性动词)你已经找到如此好的工作，为何还想再找新的? ②Sorry，I was out when you called me.(call为短暂性动词)对不起，你打电话时我刚好外出了。

5、 二、when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生;while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。

6、 1.从句动作在主句动作前发生，只用 when。

12、 3.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。

13、这时，as常表示“随着……”;“一边……，一边……”之意。

20、 ②When the manager comes here for a visit next week，Ill talk with him about this.下周，经理来这参观时，我会和他谈谈此事。

21、 三、when用于表示“一……就……”的句型中(指过去的事情)。
