這三個(gè)詞都可以用作連詞，表時(shí)間關(guān)系， 但有區(qū)別：
Ⅰ. as “當(dāng)(在)……時(shí)候”往往可與when 或 while 通用，但它著重指主句和從句的動(dòng)作或事情相并發(fā)生。如：
① I saw him as he was getting off the bus. 當(dāng)下公共汽車(chē)的時(shí)候，我看見(jiàn)了他。
② As he walked on, he felt himself getting more and more tired.他繼續(xù)往前走的時(shí)候，感到越來(lái)越疲乏。
Ⅱ. when “當(dāng)(在)……的時(shí)候”主句和從句的動(dòng)作或事情可以同時(shí)發(fā)生，也可以先后發(fā)生。
① It was raining when we arrived. 當(dāng)我們到達(dá)的時(shí)候，正下著雨。
② When we were at school, we went to the library every day. 我們?cè)谇髮W(xué)的時(shí)候，每天都到圖書(shū)館去。
Ⅲ. while “當(dāng)(在)……的時(shí)候”表主句的動(dòng)作或事情發(fā)生在從句中的動(dòng)作或事情的進(jìn)展過(guò)程之中。從句通常為進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。它有時(shí)可與when通用，但它只能指一段時(shí)間(a period of time),而不能指一點(diǎn)時(shí)間(a point of time)如上面的第一個(gè)例子。又如：
① Please don’t talk so loud while others are working. 別人在工作的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)勿大聲講話。
② While I am washing the floor, you can be cleaning the windows.我洗地板時(shí)，你可以擦窗戶(hù)。
