when, while和as的用法:

(1)三者均可表示“当……的时候”,如果主句谓语动词表示的是短暂的动作,而从句表示的是一段时间,三者可以通用。例如:

I met an old friend of mine as / when / while I was walking along the street. (当我沿街散步时,碰见了我的一个老朋友。)

(2)as和when引导的时间状语从句中,谓语动词可以是终止性动词,while引导的时间状语从句中,谓语动词一般是延续性动词。例如:

It was raining hard when we got to the airport. (当我们到达机场时,天正下着大雨。)(不能用while 引导)

(3)as强调主句谓语动词与从句谓语动词表示的动作同时发生;while强调主句谓语动词表示的动作持续于while从句所指的整个时间内;when可以指主句谓语动词和从句谓语动词所表示的动作同时或先后发生。例如:

She sang as she went along. (她边走边唱。)

Please listen to me carefully while I read. (我朗读的时候,请仔细听。)

When he reached home, he had a little rest. (回到家以后,他休息了一会儿。)

before的用法与前面三个词区别较大,具体如下:
1. 表示“在…..之前就…..”。

Mary had finished her homework before her mother returned.

2. 表示“过了多久后才…….. ,动作进行到什么程度才……”

The man almost knocked me down before he saw me .

They walked about 30 miles to the west before they saw a villa
