3.as和when的区别
有疑问:能不能把D改成that occurred as they were children
1)"as 可能强调"随着", 表示伴随动作, 好像还是一个进行中的过程, 而when 只简单表示一个时间.
"You don't think the Divorce is one kind of continuous action, do you?
2)补充when可以和延续性动词连用,也可以和短暂性动词连用;而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。
只能用when 的句型:
放句中,主句是进行时,从句是短暂动作,表示这时突然
从句是短暂动作:When I got up, I heard the bell ring. 当我起床的时候,我听见铃响了。
在这里divorce是一个瞬间动词,they were children 是一个状态,所以用when更合适
you can also just go to google.com and type "site:manhattanprep.com", then a space, then your search term(s). note that there is NO space on either side of the colon -- that's super important.
(this is how i search the forum.)
