While Vs When - What’s the difference? Spoken English lesson to speak fluently & Confidently
www.learnex.in/...
An English learning student had slight trouble with understanding the major difference between the two words “while” and “when”. So I made this Spoken English lesson because I know that many of you who are learning to speak fluent English face a similar challenge. Firstly, let me make it very simple by saying that both these words are used when you are talking about two actions that happen at the exact same time.

While
1) When two continuous actions are happening at the same time we will use “while”
Eg: I am teaching while my brother is out playing football.
When
1) When two single actions happen at the same time or one action happens right after the other we used “when”
Eg: He called me when I got home
Eg: When I ate, I felt better.
2) Ages and periods of life
Eg: I used to walk a lot when I was young
Eg: I graduated when I was 21.
3) Used as a question (to know the time)
Eg: When do we leave from here?
But what happens when we have a continuous action and a single action in the same sentence. Do we use “while” or “when”? Now that’s a tricky question. But I’ll make it very simple and clear for you.
Eg: He got into a fight while we were shopping.
In this case, you can use both “while” or “when” mainly because the single action comes before the continuous action
But if we change the sentence around we say
Eg: We were shopping when he got into a fight. (Single action comes after the continuous action)

1.She was dancing when I came home 2. I'll call you while going home 3. When I was child I used to go to dance classes

[@thomscoolify]

I never realize this before, I just choose that is comfort for me to say. (Grin)
Thank you

[@saravanans-ln8yz]

It was raining when we boarded on the plane
While it was raining, we boarded on the plane
Thanks for such an interesting class. Now I am clear about the difference and correct use of while and when. Mam, could you please make a video on the use of "Whist".?

[@shariff786rsa]

She is the best of the best among the rest..Well done . Perfectly spoken English .

[@GizemAksut]

thanks for the video, it's very useful. :) I have few examples:
I'm doing my new task while my husband is sleeping.
I came here when he left the building. *** I fall asleep when Shoelia called me on the phone.
I quit that job when I was 26.
When do you look for a new job?
My son played basketball while I am talking with my friend.
I am talking with my friend when my son played basketball.

[@Thea-gl9nx]

You are my favorite teacher in this channel. I like your talking speed and you explain very clear.

[@sangeethac5095]

1.When I was young, I used to play badminton.
2.He called me while I was sleeping . (We can use When as well).
3.I was playing chess while he was watching TV.

[@yusufayazcabiroglu75]

I have watched all of the Turkish (my mother tongue) videos but I didn't understand at all. Although this video is English, I understood when/while. Thank you very much 😊

[@kumru3584]

lol same here, there is this problem with most of the turkish teachers that they explain with complex formulas as if it is math..

[@hossain2010]

as far as "both single n double actions in a sentence" is concerned , the easiest way to remember is that the pronoun "While" always precedes "continuous tense" whereas "when" precedes a single action. If u hd put it that way, it'd hv been much easier. "when" has a connotation of "happening afterwards". But there are other usages.

[@hagebuttung7689]

this was really helpful. Thank you for making this video

[@balikakamble8036]

Thank you so much ceema mam.
This lesson is really so useful for me.
Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@shusilsingh8641]

Thank you very much. The difference has bothered me for quite a while. Now I am clear.

[@mamadoulaminebah1731]

greta teachers I'm proud of you I wish you long life I am happy to join your video online

[@InteractiveEng]

GREAT LESSON! 👍 These two words are commonly confused, especially when dealing with adverb clauses. 😉

[@venkat-bq2vd]

Interactive English sir here you were using when replaced while is it correct?

[@InteractiveEng]

Is you question about the way I used it in the sentence? "...when dealing with adverb clauses."

[@matit8360]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️💋

[@xenatsukuda2276]

Thank you so much, I love the way you explain the rules.

[@enochbiney3638]

this teachings are very precious to me. am now correcting my mistakes.

[@nikitabanerjee4928]

thanks Ma'am for the lesson this really made me understand the difference. can you also make videos on "whatsoever", "rather" and "seldom". I really don't know how to use these words in a sentence.

[@mickedidit5208]

Absolutely wow 😮! Thanks...

[@ranjithmkumar]

Recently, I had this conversation where I wanted to use one continuous action and single action. And I was in a dilemma, whether I was right or not. Now you have have cleared that doubt. Thanks.

[@roscianyt]

You can't be "in dilemma".

[@ranjithmkumar]

I have corrected it I guess. Hope it is right now.

[@roscianyt]

Ranjith Kumar Well, your phrasing is correct, good job. But, to be hyper accurate, you're still wrong. A delima is a choice between two bad (or wrong) things. Since one of your choices is correct (right) you are not in a delema. Don't worry too much, many people misuse the word delima. 😃

[@parveenbegum3600]

@@roscianyt thanks to explain the meaning of word dilemma

Find the value of (x-y*z) when x=3, y=4 and z=2.
Here we will use of when Or while.
And why, explain it.

[@aymane4299]

Does when come before these tenses simple past and simple present and continuous past too and while comes before continuous past and continuous present right....

[@salihismael4605]

Thanks a lot your lesson is clear and advanced

[@satyavijay5032]

Excellent explanation

[@lopamudrakar5680]

Ma'am, does the position of word when In the sentence change?
E.g. 1. When he opened the parachute,he fell for 5m.
2. He fell for 5m when he opened the parachute.

[@easyenglishlearningbysagar5876]

Good
These are the rules using when
Three rules using when those are
Simple past + simple past
Past continuous +simple past
Simple present +simple present

[@eylemsoyugenc4871]

"When do we leave from here?" doesn't sound right... without the "from" sounds better or even right :)

[@UshaSingh-pr9xn]

"While speaking errors"?

[@rajasekarcma8454]

Please take classes little bit faster and use the time optimally. However I like overall your​ classes. Thank you

[@thecallofdutygamer8769]

I've always had problems with these two words. English is even my first language and I always have to think of which one to use when I have to use them. Its so confusing though. I even used to have problems with if and when but luckily I know the difference now
Edit: I have a question is it what did you do while you were in California or is it what did you do when you were in California? Are both correct

[@satpalkumar4933]

hey, I took your lesson. I have a doubt. what if, we add "while" before a past simple sentence that shows a state of being something, for e.g. He was eating while I was asleep . First of all, is it right to say?. If yes, then what "while" adds to the past simple sentence followed by it. Does it make the past simple a continuous?

[@manoharkrishnan2498]

Wonderful explanation,,
Have another doubt, how to during, could you explain?
Thanks

[@zekenzy6486]

[@sugasinip8884]

1. I am watching video while my son is playing.
2. I came to our house when my son was slept.
3. He took a bath when we were sleeping.

[@sujabuddin4923]

mam, can we make a question using " when " in present continuous tense ?
for example, when are you going / coming / leaving ? etc

[@easyenglishlearningbysagar5876]

Three rules using when those are
Simple past + simple past
Past continuous +simple past
Simple present +simple present

[@nasiruabdulkadir5093]

I'm very interested for mare explanation about these two words.
