'when' & 'while' in Past Continuous Tense

1. Translate the Past Continouns Tense first
2. Use /keh/ for ' WHEN'
3. Translate the Simple Past Tense

Example 1:
I was eating lunch when he called.
To call = /telefon kardan/ or /zang zadan/
/da:shtam na:ha:r mi khordam keh u: telefon kard/
Example 2:
I was watching TV when the electricity went.
/da:shtam televiziyu:n/ nega:h mi kardam keh bargh raft/
Example 3:
She was going when I saw her.
/da:sht mi raft keh u: ra: didam/
Notes: The same rule is applicable for ' while'
