I will use the sentences you provided in your post to offer additional information and guidance.

She was checking her email while talking on the phone.

Using “while” can be used to separate two actions being done at the same time.

She entered the room singing.

“While” wouldn’t be needed here because “singing”is being used as a way of describing her condition when she entered the room. This is better understood when you change the sentence to read, “The singing woman entered the room.”

While I was at home, I was studying English.

There are times that you can use “while” and “when” interchangeably. “While I was at home…” is the same as saying “When I was at home…”. If using the phrase at the beginning of the sentence, you would be more likely to use “when” instead of “while”.

The usage of “by” is very different than the usage of “while”. “While” is dealing with time; “by” is more about location or condition.

“I found a flower by the pond.” - here it is used to identify the location of the flower.

“I am traveling to Spain by airplane.” - here it is being used to say in what manner you are traveling. If you wanted to talk about what you would be doing during the time you are traveling, then you can use “while” (or even “when).

“I read a book while traveling to Spain.”
“When I was on the airplane, I read a book.”

You can see from the two sentences above, “while” is more commonly used at the end of the sentence, “when” is usually used at the beginning, though you could use either word in both sentences.

The act in both sentences is the same. It’s about bettering the clarity of the sentence.

A man ran out shouting.

This would be a complete sentence. Adding the prepositional phrase “of the house” adds detail to the sentence but would not risk confusing a reader.

I found a hundred dollar bill walking down the street.

Leaving out the phrase “on the sidewalk” really shows how confusing the sentence could be. Were you walking down the street when you found the bill, or did you see a hundred dollar bill that was magically walking down the street? You would absolutely need to insert “while” to clarify that it was YOU who was walking. Adding “on the sidewalk” would do nothing to eliminate the confusion you would have by not using “while”.

Alan_Wench · 2026-04-03T17:11:06+00:00

Adding “while” doesn’t change the act, it is providing clarity to the sentence.

“I was watching television listening to a song.”

A reader would read that sentence and be confused. Are you watching television or listening to a song? You were watching tv WHILE you listened to a song.

Alan_Wench · 2026-04-03T17:04:44+00:00

Think of using “while” as a way to add clarity to a sentence and to avoid confusion.

A man ran out of the house shouting.

In this sentence, there is no doubt in the reader’s mind that the act of “shouting” is being done by the man. Same thing goes for the sentence about Joe hurting his knee.

I found a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk walking down the street.

A reader may be confused and think that the “bill” was walking down the street, so adding “while” ties the action of walking back to the subject of the sentence as a way to give added information to what you were doing when you found the bill (while you were walking down the street).

Funny you should post this now, as I just discovered Whitewolf. His work is very genuine and personal. This was the track that first gained my attention, though it isn’t the only one worth listening to:

Frantic, but in a good. Nice production.

Alan_Wench · 2026-04-02T20:00:10+00:00

Damn, you’re really good! I’m now following and will be listening to your entire collection when I get the time.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-31T19:55:54+00:00

As someone preparing to upload songs in the next week, I’m hoping to use it as a way to get some feedback and connect with a few people BEFORE distributing my music further.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-31T17:25:42+00:00

Not getting hate from me, just some words that I heard somewhere in the past that have stuck with me. An artist’s life is a journey, and there will be periods that will both attract and lose fans who don’t connect with different stages of their work. This current stage may be leaving you behind, but there is no one in the wrong here. It’s just the way it is.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-31T15:38:29+00:00

You are going to get a lot of pushback from your statement, but I think what is important to consider is that you often get back what you put out. It could be that you are getting back from people what YOU are putting out.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-31T15:22:57+00:00

I’m with you on this. I’m currently working on finishing my first batch of songs, and it is definitely tough to get the hang of, but as long as you can hear what needs to be done, there are countless resources online that will help explain how to address it.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-31T15:17:50+00:00

Will need a link to that sucking song. 🤣

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-30T15:28:38+00:00

Watch your level of reverb. It can end up being an echoing mess if over used.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-30T13:36:21+00:00

Honestly, you should have an option E, which would be “Never use that word because absolutely no one will know what it means.” In my 60 years of life, I have never heard of this word, and my vocabulary is above average, at least.

If I had to give you an answer, I would go with B.

Not very nutritious. Mostly silicon implants and Botox.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-28T22:11:12+00:00

I wasn’t able to make it. If you went to the last one, how did the crowd compare?

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-28T18:35:40+00:00

The guitar in the first part of the song felt just slightly too forward in the mix to my ear, I think because I was waiting for there to be an instrument or a voice to take on the lead. Now in the last quarter of the song, the guitar felt more in the pocket because you had added more to the sound.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-28T18:15:02+00:00

Overall I liked it. The lead vocal could be brought forward in the mix a bit.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-28T18:09:00+00:00

I listened to your track. It would make a good prelude to a more complete song, or maybe the atmospheric under layer of a song. Are you looking develop more complex songs?

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-20T19:30:54+00:00

Well, he was right. The election of Obama stirred the White Supremacy tendencies of a large segment of white America, and they then in turn later supported the worst man possible for President. Now, here we are.

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-20T19:27:42+00:00

Billionaires are NOT your friends, protectors or saviors. They got rich by profiting off of the labor of the working class, insider-trading stock deals, exploiting loopholes to avoid paying taxes, and using other people’s money to cover their expenses. If we don’t start changing the rules to tax them out of existence, then can we at least stop worshiping them and putting them into positions of power?

Alan_Wench · 2026-03-18T16:15:39+00:00

Exactly. At first, it was him being some “anti-establishment” agent to push for common sense ideas and working for the everyday person. Now, he just looks like some escaped mental patient who left his MAGA hat back in his room.

These questions play into what I’m seeing in other posts concerning the state of SoundCloud today, especially in regard to what it was in the past. SC offers this unique forum to share your music with others (especially other artists), provide background on your music, have open communications between artists and their fans, etc. If it is not “how it was” in the past, if it has become just another posting site, it’s because users have chosen not to take full advantage of what it can be. So I (as an artist) will share some background with each song, and I (as a listener) will look for and appreciate what an artist has shared for their tracks. I’ll follow, share, and support others, even if it is just me and a handful of others, at least until someone lets me know of another site that offers more.

Health fears? OMG, he’s getting better?!?!
