When y while — narrando historias

Al contar historias, normalmente combinas past continuous y simple past con las conjunciones when y while:

• when + simple past → acción puntual
• while + past continuous → acción en curso, trasfondo

Estructuras clásicas:

1. I was reading when he came. (Trasfondo + evento puntual)
2. While I was reading, he came. (Misma idea, while al principio)
3. When I was a child, I played football every day. (Pasado largo con simple past — when puede introducir ambos)
