The difference between when and while

(1) When and while both mean "when...". When can represent a certain point in time or a certain period of time.

In the time adverbial clause introduced by when, the predicate verb can be continuous or non-continuous, and can occur simultaneously with the predicate verb in the main clause or after it. like:

I was just reading a book when she came into my room.

When he was a child, he was always trying out new ideas.

As a child, he often experimented with new ideas.

(2) while can only represent a certain period of time, not a certain point in time. In the time adverbial clause introduced by while, its predicate verb can only be continuous, and it can only occur or exist at the same time as the predicate verb in the main clause. like:

While Jim was mending his bike, Lin Tao came to see him.
