Warning: - Warning:
- Whereas means the same as while in sentences expressing contrasts. It does not mean the same as while when while refers to time:
- The south has a hot, dry climate, whereas/while the north has a milder, wetter climate.
- The secretary took care of my appointments while I was away from the office.
- Not: …
whereas I was away from the office. - Whereas is a conjunction and comes at the beginning of a subordinate (dependent) clause. We use whereas to show the difference between two things or facts. A square has four sides, whereas a triangle has three. People say 'fries' in America, whereas in Britain they call them 'chips'.
Thank you for attention
