Complete the sleepy moviegoer's confession by selecting the correct time word for each gap.
I always buy my snacks _________________________ the movie starts, so I don't miss the beginning! However, yesterday I was so tired that I fell asleep _________________________ the main action scene. My sneaky best friend ate all my popcorn _________________________ I was dreaming about pizza!
before
We use before to talk about something that happens earlier than another event. (Buying snacks happens first, so you don't miss the movie!)
during
We use during before a noun phrase (like "the main action scene") to say that something happened inside that period of time.
while
We use while before a subject and a verb (a clause, like "I was dreaming") to show that two things were happening at the exact same time.
