As/When

Tom waits at a table as/when his date arrives.

Are both as and when ok? Any differences?

  

Top answer

" As for "as/when", it's "when". "As" implies simultaneous action, and waiting is too static for that.

I think it has to be "Tom is waiting at a table as/when his date arrives." As for "as/when", it's "when". "As" implies simultaneous action, and waiting is too static for that.
