While Portacio
''While'' is a word in the English language that functions both as a noun and as a subordinating conjunction. Its meaning varies largely based on its intended function, position in the phrase and even the writer or speaker's regional dialect. As a conjunction, it is synonymous with the word ''whilst'', a form often considered archaic in American English, as well as in some style guides on both sides of the Atlantic. Usage Noun ''A while'' and ''awhile'' are often confused due to the fact that ''while'' is often accompanied by the indefinite article. The main difference is that ''a while'' means "an amount of time" or "some duration" whereas ''awhile'' is an adverb meaning "''for'' some amount of time" or "''for'' some duration". :"I slept for a while before dinner." :"I slept awhile before dinner." Both of these sentences yield the same effective meaning. ''Whilst'' is only a conjunction, and so its use here would be incorrect. Conjunction The primary function of the w ...
