| When your friend called, were you eating lunch? | Wakati rafiki yako alipiga simu, wewe ulikuwa ukila chakula cha mchana? |
| While the children were playing in the field, mother was cooking dinner. | Wakati watoto walikuwa wakicheza uwanjani, mama alikuwa akipika chakula cha jioni. |
| I was thinking of calling you, but you came to my place suddenly. | Nilikuwa nikifikiria kukupigia simu, lakini ukaja kwangu ghafla. |

| If you return that pen early, brother will not get angry. | Kama utarudisha peni hiyo mapema, kaka hatakasirika. |

| when they freeze | yakiganda |
| When the fruits freeze in the freezer, we get sweet ice. | Matunda yakiganda kwenye friza, tunapata barafu tamu. |
