Meaning of "when" clauses
Hello,
While looking for the use of past simple with "when",I got confused about some sentences.
-When I paid her one dollar,she answered my question.
-She answered my question when I paid her one dollar.
It's said that these two sentences have the same meaning,whereas the below sentences have different meaning comparing with the two first ones.
-I paid her one dollar when she answered my question.
-when she answered my question I paid one dollar.
Could you please put some light on that ?
Thanks in advance
