When he was eight,he got a book about the stars.
Look and think
Look at the following sentences and answer the questions.

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與while引導時間狀語從句的區(qū)別
when引導的從句的謂語動詞可以是延續(xù)性的動詞，又可以是瞬間動詞。并且when有時表示呢“就在那時”。例如：
When she came in,I stopped eating.
她進來時，我停止吃飯。（瞬間動詞）
When I lived in the countryside,I used to carry somewater for him.
當我住在農村時，我常常為他擔水。（延續(xù)性動詞）
We were about to leave when he came in
我們就要離開，就在那時他進來了。
While引導的從句的謂語動作必須是延續(xù)性的，并強調主句和從句的動作同時發(fā)生（或者相對應），并且while有時還可以表示對比，例如：
While my wife was reading the newspaper,I was watching TV.(was reading是延續(xù)性的動詞，was reading和was watching同時發(fā)生)。
I like playing football while you like playing basketball.
我喜歡踢足球，而你喜歡打籃球。（對比）
