I need help
 

Hi,,

I need your help please.

 

I need some videos like this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5B9J2y7nd8

to teach students the past continuous with sentences including while .

I need video with actions to make sentences by using while + past continuous�..

Also, I have a question about the video above.

Is it right to use when in sentences on it ???

I think that we should use while instead of when !

 

Regards,

PrettyJ

Yes you can use when.
 
While indicates a period of time it gives a sense of time passing.
 
When usually gives a more exact time, but can also be a period of time.
 
This link gives some good examples of their use.
 
 
 

We often prefer while to when to describe the longer action of two events or to talk about two longer actions that go on simultaneously.
