bear with me

Witaj anna-english, Mam coś ciekawego ale bez użycia słowa "Please bear...." na początku zdania.
Wypis z książki CAMBRIDGE-"English Grammar in Use"- Raymond Murphy, Unit 68, strona 136.

-When two things happen at the same time, you can use an -ing clause.
1)Kate is in the kitchen making coffee. (=she is in the kitchen and she is making coffee)
2)A man run out of the house shouting. (=he run out of the house and he was shouting)
3)Do something ! Don't just stand there doing nothing !

-We also use -ing when one action happens during another action.
We use -ing for the longer action :
1)Joe hurt his knee playing football. (=while he was playing
2)Did you cut yourself shaving ? (= while you were shaving)

-You can also use -ing after while or when :
1)Jim hurt his knee while playing football.
2)Be carefull when crossing the road. (= when you are crossing)
