Mary was studying Tom was riding a bicycle

While ve as aynı sürede olagelen iki olayı bağlarken kullanılan zaman zarf larıdır. -iken anlamını verirler.

As / while Mary was studying, Tom was riding a bicycle. Bu cümlede; Mary was studying cümleciği time clause (zaman cümleciği) olarak kullanıldı. Tom was riding a bicycle ise main clause (ana cümlecik) oldu. Mary çalışırken, Tom bisiklete biniyordu.

Eğer while veya as diğer cümleciğin başında kullanılırsa While/As Tom was riding a bicycle, Mary was studying (Tom bisiklete binerken , Mary ders çalışıyordu.)

Tom was riding a bicycleş cümleciği; time clause (zaman cümleciği), Mary was studying cümleciği; main clause (ana cümlecik) olur.

Bu cümleyi aşağıdaki gibi de ifade edebiliriz:

Mary was studying while / as Tom was riding a bicycle. (Tom bisiklete binerken Mary ders çalışıyordu) veya Tom was riding a bicycle

while-/ as Mary was studying (Mary çalışırkenTom bisiklete biniyordu) While veya as daima zaman cümleciğ nin (time clause) başında kullanılır. Time

clause konulur. Cümlenin başında kullanılırsa, main clause’a seçmeden önce comma (virgül) konulur.

Cümle main clause ile başlıyor, sonra time clause kullanılıyorsa, arada comma(virgül) kullanılmaz.

Aşağıdaki örnekleri inceleyiniz:

While/As I was coming here, they were playing football.

While/as the students were shouting, the teacher was drinking tea. Öğrenciler
