when和while的区别?

一。引导时间状语从句时，WHILE连接的是时间段，而WHEN连接的多是时间点
例如What does your father do while your mother is cooking?
What does your mother do when you come back?
二，WHILE可以连接两个并列的句子，而WHEN不可以
例如I was trying my best to finish my work while my sister was whtching TV
三，WHEN是特殊疑问词，对时间进行提问，WHILE不是。
例如，When were you bron?
