1 The difference between 間and 間に：
間is used when the activity in the main clause
occurs throughout the period described in the
subordinate clause.
間にis used when the activity in the main clause
occurs at a time or several times during the period
described in the subordinate clause.
日本にいる間日本語をべんきょうしていました。
日本にいる間にきょうとに行きました。
2. ～ている間can be used when talking about two
people doing different things during the same time
frame. Use ~ながらto talk about one person doing
two things at the same time or within the same
time frame.
Note:
3 The 間clause is a subordinate clause so the subject of the 間
clause is marked by が. The subject of the main clause is
marked by はorがdepending on its position in the sentence
and whether it is the subject or topic or both.
ははがりょうりしている間にわたしはケーキをつくりました。
Remember to mark the subject of a subordinate clause with
が if it is different from the subject in the main clause.
4 Place にいる間is used to describe where someone is/ was,
when she/he or someone else does something.
日本にいる間に日本のぶんかをならいました。
5 間should not be used with time words such as 今しゅう,今月,ら
い年. Use ずっとinstead：
