الفرق بين : A while & Awhile

✨ الفرق بين :
A while & ✨ Awhile

✨A while is a noun meaning “a length of time”

“I slept for a while.”

– (compare with “I slept for a bit” and “I slept for three hours”)
“I was away from my desk for a while.”

(compare with “I was away from my desk for two minutes”)

✨ Awhile is an adverb, meaning “for a time,” or literally, “for a while”.

“I slept Awhile before dinner.”
(compare with “I slept deeply before dinner” and “I slept badly before dinner”.)

✨As you can see, the words can be used almost interchangeably in some cases – but a while needs to be accompanied by a preposition, such as “for” (“I slept for a while”) or “ago” (“I left work a while ago”). Awhile always means “for a while”.
