Hello, there! Thank you for stopping by. Yes, it is correct. It’s the same like eat while the food is hot. So, the circumtance of the food being hot is longer in duration than the activity of eating. it’s because food always tastes better when it’s just been served (hot).
Hey! Umm I am a bit confused. Like if one activity is short then its obvious that the other would be longer so does it depend on me which activity I want to focus on? And if yes does it change my sentence structure?
Hello, there! Thanks for the question. and yes, if those 2 activities are both single actions (equally short actions in duration), then the main clause do not use ‘when’. and add ‘when’ to the additional info with shorter or equally short action. Ex, ‘when the phone rang, I just started cooking’ or ‘I just started cooking when the phone rang.’ while if another action is longer in duration, we can change the structure depending on the duration (to consider whether to use when or while). Ex, ‘I was sleeping when you came’ OR ‘You came while I was sleeping’ OR ‘When you came, I was sleeping’ OR ‘I was sleeping when you came’ and yes, focus on what activity you want to stress as the main clause (which does not use the connector ‘when’ and ‘while’). so, in this sentence: ‘you came while i was sleeing’ (here the main clause or the focus activity is the ‘you came’. and ‘while i was sleeping’ is the additional info).
@@HermotionAnimation9 yes u r right.....there should be either She or He but still if we will use there He/She....Why can't we use had slept there?????
@@sharmasakshi8338 they both are correct. it depends on the context you want to emphasise. following the context in the video, we're talking about when and while. 'came' and 'had' are short in duration. you came and you saw they had sleeping.
Excellent!!!! Everything is as clear as daylight.......... ......

"Strike while iron is hot." I saw this sentence in an essays book. Is this sentence correct?

Welcome ti the pollos 2 hermanos
When I came at theyre house they ware sleeping
great explanation!
Oh thank you. I’m glad you found it useful😊
When I went to my friend's house,they................(sleep).What should be the answer??
were sleeping
but I think, you need to be clear who is the subject here. shouldn't it be 'friends' house'? or maybe you could change 'they' to 'he or she'.
@@HermotionAnimation9 why were sleeping and why not had slept???
@@HermotionAnimation9 yes u r right.....there should be either She or He but still if we will use there He/She....Why can't we use had slept there?????
