Partizipialkonstruktionen mit while und when?

Participle clauses with "while" and "when" are used to provide additional information about the timing of actions in a sentence. Here’s a brief overview:

1. **While**: This is used to indicate that two actions are happening at the same time. The participle clause often describes the action that is ongoing.

- Example: "While walking in the park, I saw a beautiful bird."
- Here, "walking in the park" is the participle clause that describes what I was doing at the same time as seeing the bird.

2. **When**: This is used to indicate that one action happens at a specific moment in time, often when another action occurs. The participle clause can describe the action that happens first or the condition under which the second action occurs.

- Example: "When finished with my homework, I went out to play."
- In this case, "finished with my homework" is the participle clause that indicates the condition under which I went out to play.

Both structures help to create more complex sentences and can make writing more fluid and engaging.
