1 Grammar A
Adverbial clauses of time(when)
When did Patrick get a book about the stars?
When he was eight,he got a book about the stars.
Look and think
Look at the following sentences and answer the questions.
When he was eight,he got a book about the stars.
He got a book about the stars when he was eight.
Do the sentences have different meanings?
What is the difference between the two sentences?
What change has been made in punctuation?
Adverbial clauses of time
We can use the conjunction when to form an adverbial caluses of time.It links two clauses into one sentence.
We can put an adverbial clause of time at the beginning or the end of a sentence.
Work out the rule
When we use the conjunction when link two clauses,we tell people that the two actions happen at (the same time/different times).
Things to remember
We can also use before,after,while,as soon as and until to form adverbial caluses of time.
1.My mum was cooking when I got into the kitchen.
2.After he left the college,he went to America.
3.I'll call him as soon as I get there.
4.He didn't go to bed until his father came back.
5.He has lived in Beijing since he was born.
6.While he was watching TV,his father came in.
when与while引导时间状语从句的区别
when引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词，又可以是瞬间动词。并且when有时表示呢“就在那时”。例如：
When she came in,I stopped eating.
她进来时，我停止吃饭。（瞬间动词）
When I lived in the countryside,I used to carry somewater for him.
当我住在农村时，我常常为他担水。（延续性动词）
We were about to leave when he came in
我们就要离开，就在那时他进来了。
While引导的从句的谓语动作必须是延续性的，并强调主句和从句的动作同时发生（或者相对应），并且while有时还可以表示对比，例如：
While my wife was reading the newspaper,I was watching TV.(was reading是延续性的动词，was reading和was watching同时发生)。
I like playing football while you like playing basketball.
我喜欢踢足球，而你喜欢打篮球。（对比）

2.Grammar exercise
