00:00:04differences between during and while and
00:00:07many students make mistakes with this
00:00:09because the meaning is the same but we
00:00:13use them in a different way both of them
00:00:16mean in the middle of another action but
00:00:20we use them in a different way for
00:00:22example with during we must have a noun
00:00:25so for example imagine you go to the
00:00:28cinema with a friend and in the movie
00:00:31your friend is me me me me me me me me
00:00:33me me me me and you just want to get
00:00:35through after the movie you can say oh
00:00:39you wouldn’t stop talking during during
00:00:46the movie
00:00:47so with during me and now the movie so
00:00:52if we look at it this way here we have
00:00:59the movie and during the movie
00:01:08your friend was talking so that’s what
00:01:15you’ll say to your annoying friend you
00:01:18won’t say you wouldn’t stop talking
00:01:20why or the movie no with while we need a
00:01:25verb um it can be continuous it can be
00:01:29simple but we’ll talk about that later
00:01:31for example imagine your own bed and you
00:01:38would say while I was reading while I
00:01:44was reading I heard a noise you’ll
00:01:48notice it while I was reading past
00:01:52continuous I heard a noise her simple so
00:01:58we want to say here’s me I’m wearing my
00:02:06I’m in bed
00:02:13while I was reading bang I simple I
00:02:18heard a noise now of course I don’t
00:02:25necessarily need the subject I can
00:02:29remove it it could say while reading I
00:02:32heard a noise but we don’t really say
00:02:35that so much these days so that’s that
00:02:39way now it doesn’t have to be past
00:02:42continuous it can be past simple for
00:02:50example imagine whoever you live with
00:03:03whoever you’re living with they’re
00:03:06having a fight they’re arguing but you
00:03:14you’re not involved you’re just sitting
00:03:16there eating popcorn so he could say the
00:03:21next day for example he could say while
00:03:30they my housemates while they were
00:03:43arguing
00:03:44I watched or you could say they were
00:03:57arguing while I watched on the timeline
00:04:09this is them arguing and while they were
00:04:16arguing in the middle I was watching or
00:04:21I watched let’s use past simple because
00:04:24why not
00:04:32Thanks
00:04:34you
