Anonymous  +  580209 Sat, 25 Oct 08 08:25 PM Hi, Could you please tell me if all the sentneces are correct? Is there any different meaning between them? 1.It’s dangerous that people drive their cars and talk on the phone simultaneously 2.It’s dangerous that people drive their cars and talk on the phone at the same time. 3.It's dangerous people talk on the phone and meanwhile drive their cars. 4.It's dangerous people talk on the phone while driving. Can I put 'meanwhile' at the end of a sentnece? For example: He watched TV and I wrote a letter meanwhile. Thanks. Anonymous

Is there any different meaning between them? 1.It’s dangerous that  for people to drive their cars and talk on the phone simultaneously (OK) 2.It’s dangerous  that  for people to drive their cars and talk on the phone at the same time. (better, more natural) 3.It's dangerous for people to talk on the phone and meanwhile drive their cars. (Not natural; meanwhile indicates a change in subject as well as the verb.) 4.It's dangerous for people to talk on the phone while driving.(excellent, very natural) Can I put 'meanwhile' at the end of a sentnece? For example: He watched TV and I wrote a letter meanwhile. (it is not natural, meanwhile introduces a clause) Thanks. ”   AlpheccaStars Joined on Sun, Oct 12 2008 Senior Member 3,508 The pen is mightier than the sword. Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873)
