Last question about this grammar.
Tom is watching TV, while he is eating snack.
-> Tom, who is eating snack, is watching TV.
This is the last question about non-defining relative clauses for sure, so please help me out.
Do you think "while he" can be converted to , who like "and he, but she,etc" can be converted to ",who".
What do you think? I can't wait to hear from you.

1. Tom is watching TV while he is eating a snack.
2. Tom, who is a eating snack, is watching TV.
Do you think "while he" can be converted to , who like "and he, but she,etc" can be converted to "who"?-- I don't know about 'and he / but she'. I hope you understand that #2 is not a conversion of #1. The thrusts of the sentences are different. Howe

Tom is my friend and he is from the USA -> Tom, who is from the USA, is my friend. ----Okay -- Yes, OK as an equivalent because 'and' is a coordinating conjunction.
Tom is watching TV while he is eating a snack. -> Tom, who is eating a snack, is watching TV.--- Not okay?-- No, not OK, because 'while' is a subordinating conjunction.

I am really sorry but though, for and as also can be converted to ,who as far as I know. Or is there something you want to correct in the grammar? I am sorry for taking your time and effort too much.
