After checking the answers, introduce: Sandy was waiting for a taxi while Millie was walking to the bus stop.Then ask the Ss to make sentences with whilee.g. watch TV, cook dinner; read a book, play cards; 6. To sum up the rules:(1) When something else happened while a longer action was going on, we use when or while to join the two actions. We use the past continuous tense for the longer action and the simple past tense for the shorter action.(2) When two long actions went on at the same time, we can use the past continuous tense in both clauses and while to join them. 完成学案中的二Step 2 Part B1.
