| Notes | -(으)면서 attaches to verb (and adjective) stems and links two actions performed simultaneously. The ending corresponds to 'while' in English and is similar to -는 동안. -(으)면서 can only be used to link actions performed by the same subject. The two clauses describing simultaneous actions performed by two different people can be linked with -는 동안. -(으)면서 cannot be used with tense markers. |
