When vs While


While vs. When

Clause atau  sentence adalah kelompok kata yang memiliki arti. Beberapa clause kadang diawali “when” terkadang “while”
A.      When digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu kegiatan/kejadian yang terjadi di waktu lampau. When sering diikuti oleh Simple past tense.
1.      When she heard the noise, she got up
2.      When the rain began, I stood up under a tree
Jika terdapat “when” pada sebuah kalimat dan simple past pada dua clausanya maka pada clausa yang terdapat when di depannya terjadi lebih dulu.
1.      Awalnya dia mendengar suara gaduh  kemudian dia terbangun
2.      Hujan turun pada awalnya baru kemudian dia berteduh di bawah pohon
B.       When digunakan pada past perfect (kegiatan yang telah komplit selesai di waktu lampau)
e.g. He had already left when we got there
First : he left
Second : we got there
C.     While digunakan pada past continous untuk dua kegiatan terjadi bersamaan
While I was studying, my father was reading a newspaper or
My father was reading a newspaper while I was studying
D.    When dan while jika digunakan pada past continuous tense
I was taking a walk when it began to rain.=========  When it began to rain, I was taking a walk
While I was talking a walk, it began to rain.  =========   It began to rain while I was taking a walk
Secara umum, when digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan dengan durasi waktu lebih pendek (the word 'when' is used for shorter time periods) sedangkan while untuk menyatakan kegiatan dengan durasi waktu lebih panjang ( but 'while' is used for longer continuous time periods).
 Common Mistake
ERROR
FIX 
* While he called me, he was driving to work.
  The adverb while introduces an activity of longer duration: calling or dialing is a short action.
When he called me, he was driving to work.
Change while to when. (when = interruption)

       Last December it rained heavily all day long. Kamal’s house was near the river. The area around his house was already flooded and the water was rising rapidly. Kamal and his family decided to go to the school nearby, which was on higher ground. It would be safer there.
       He waded through the waist-high water.
He could see branches of trees, dead animals and even pots and pans floating. Suddenly, he saw something moving in the swirling waters. It looked like a branch, but it was much darker. As the object approached, Kamal realized it was a python. It was a large one and looked dangerous.
       Frightened, Kamal watched the reptile coming towards him. He had never seen a python swimming before, let alone one as big as this. He looked around for something to hit it with, but there was nothing. Then he heard shouts and the noise of a motor boat. It was a Red Crescent rescue boat. Just in the nick of time! The snake swam away and Kamal was quickly pulled into the boat. Kamal heaved a sigh of relief. That was the most frightening encounter of his life, and he was lucky to be rescued.

       The archer and the trumpeter were traveling together in a lonely place. The archer boasted of his skill as a warrior, and asked the trumpeter if he bore arms.
       “No,” replied the trumpeter, “I cannot fight. I can only blow my horn, and make music for those who are at war.”
       “But I can hit a mark at a hundred paces,” said the archer. As he spoke, an eagle appeared, hovering over the tree tops. He drew out an arrow, fitted it on the string, shot at the bird, which straightway fell to the ground, transfixed to the heart.
       “I am not afraid of any foe for that bird might just as well have been a man,” said the archer proudly. “But you would be quite helpless if anyone attacked you.”
       They saw at that moment a band of robbers approaching them with drawn swords. The archer immediately discharged a sharp arrow, which laid low the foremost of the wicked men. But the rest soon overpowered and bound his hands.
       “As for this trumpeter, he can do us no harm for he has neither sword nor bow,” one of the robbers said. They released the trumpeter, but took away his wallet.
       Then, the trumpeter said, “You are welcome, friends, but let me play you a tune on my horn.”
       With their consent he blew loud and long on his trumpet, and in a short space of time the guards of the king came running up at the sound, and surrounded the robbers and carried them off to prison.
