He drinks coffee. I have joined the sentences as follows? Which are the correct ones? "While" is the word provided. 1. While drinking coffee, Sam reads the newspaper. 2. While reading the newspaper, Sam drinks coffee. 3. While Sam is reading the newspaper, he drinks coffee. 4. While Sam is drinking coffee, he reads the newspaper. I think all the sentences are correct. Am I right? Thanks. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Which are the correct transformed sentences?

Edit: I take that back. 1 and 4 imply that Sam will always read the newspaper when he is drinking coffee, but not that he will necessarily drink coffee when he is reading the newspaper. 2 and 3 work the other way around, that is, when he is reading the newspaper he will drink coffee but he won't necessarily read the newspaper when he is drinking coffee.
