(1) when you do some thing and at the same time if something else is also happening then you can use while."I HAVE BEEN PLAYING GAME WHILE WAITING IN QUE-outside the bank.

(2)He,as well as his uncle ,is coming next week. Be carefull while using verb (SINGULAR).

(3) Rather is same like prefer,but former is followed by base verb. I would rather go out than wait for him.
If you say the same thing by using prefer,it would be like; I would prefer to go out than to wait for him.(to + verb).
(4) Whether is used to introduce alternates, like; It is not your matter whether i stay or not.
For could,would,might, should, google model auxilary verb and their usage.
(5) Let means to allow; i will not let you do this again and again.
I hope this would be helpfull.

when and while are conjunctions.
In some uses when and while can mean the same, but they can also have slightly different meanings. We use them to introduce subordinate clauses. We can use when and while to mean ‘during the time that’, to connect two events happening at the same time:
We often use them with the past continuous to refer to background events:
For example:
While he was working, he often listened to music.

As well as
The phrase "as well as" creates one of those situations where you may have to make a judgment call about comma usage. As a general rule, it doesn't need a comma before it unless it’s a part of a non-restrictive clause.
For example:
I like carrot cake as well as chocolate cake, but lemon cake is my favorite.

Rather
We use rather to give emphasis to an adjective or adverb. It has a similar meaning to quite when quite is used with grad able words. It is more formal than quite. We often use it to express something unexpected or surprising
For example:
No, I’m rather busy, in fact.

Whether
We can use whether to report indirect yes-no questions and questions with or. If is more common than whether
For example:
The teachers will be asked whether they would recommend the book to their classes.

Could
Could is the past tense of can, but it also has uses apart from that--and that is where the confusion lies. When could is used as the past tense of can, it refers to an ability that a person generally had in the past or to something that was generally possible in the past ("When I was younger, I could run for miles," or "It used to be you could buy lunch for a dollar.").Could is also used to refer to something that you wish to have or do but that is not possible ("If only we could be free of this tyrant!"). It’s also used to describe something that was possible but did not happen, used with the verb have ("We could have won if we had practiced harder."). Could can also express annoyance or another strong emotion ("He could have asked me if I needed help!" or "I could have died I was so embarrassed!"), but can isn’t used this way

Would
Would is a little easier to understand because it is not related to could or can, and its uses are more specific. Would is used to talk about a possible situation that has not happened or that you are imagining ("I would quit my job if I won the lottery."), and it is also used with have to describe a situation that could have happened but did not ("She would have eaten less if she had known there was going to be dessert.").
Like could, would is used to describe something that you think is likely to be true or likely to happen ("I think the meal would [=could] feed ten people." "He said he would help me with this set of exercises when he gets home.").
Would can also be used to ask polite questions ("Would you mind if I had another cup of tea?"), or to wish for something ("I wish she would write a book."). It has several distinct uses that can and could do not, however: it is used to give opinions ("I wouldn't do that if I were you," or "I would say that she is in her 30s. [=it is my opinion that she is between 30 and 39 years old]"); it is used to express a willingness to do something ("I would be happy to take her to the airport"); and it is used to express frustration with something that you believe a person always does ("Well, he would say that, wouldn't he? He always says that!").

Might
We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.
For example:
She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.

Let
'Let' can mean 'allow' or 'give permission
For example
Our boss let us leave early.
Let's + infinitive is often used to make a suggestion
For example
Let's go to the cinema tonight

I hope it will helped
Bes t of Luck

Who
"Who" is a subject pronoun like "he," "she" and "we" in the examples above. We use "who" to ask which person does an action or which person is a certain way.
Example
Who made the birthday cake?

Whom
"Whom" is an object pronoun like "him," "her" and "us." We use "whom" to ask which person receives an action.
Example
Whom are you going to invite?

Whose
"Whose" is a possessive pronoun like "his," "her" and "our." We use "whose" to find out which person something belongs to.
Example
Whose dog is barking outside?

As far as
"As far as" is more likely to be used in contexts where you're trying to be helpful, but you're (often, somewhat apologetically) pointing out that what you think may not be totally accurate

Further
uses of further is something that is a longer distance away or something that happens that is in addition to what has already occurred.
We need to discuss this further.

Furthermore
furthermore is used to add more information to what was already said or written.
Example
We believe that the project is possible. Furthermore, we believe that we can do it within a few months.

and sorry for your last question because i'm also a beginner not a senior because i am in the process of learning

Default please senior help me in contexual meaning

please senior help me in contexual meaning also how I will attempt it in exam as, for example decade means 10 years so how it would be its meaning in context..


For [decade] and half after WWII , there was [optimism] in the world that we had solved, or that technology would help us solve, the old problems of hunger, disease, illiteracy-- even [intolerance] . But in 1970s two new realities have become all too clear: one, technological progress has created new problems like pollution, unequal distribution of the benefits pf modernity and an uneasiness about the world we have created; and two, this advance has affected only about a quarter of world's people . The other 75 percent is still involved in the old and [bitter] struggles; This is the world of underdeveloped nations.

The picture of this underdeveloped world is a [grim] one.The majority of its population lives without what are considered the [barest] essentials in the Western world. There is a [precarious] balance between the amount of food available and the number of mouths to be fed; disease usually results in early death or permanent [debilitation]. [Vagrant] children fight the flies for food in the streets of Tehran; in calcutta there are homeless masses whose only sleeping places are the city's streets and sidewalks. For a billion and three-quarter inhabitants of south Asia, the annual per capita income is only a little more than $100-- less then the increase in earnings.reported in 1969 by the north atlantic communities. In 1950, the lower two-third of the world's population earned only 13 percent of the total world income; by 1970 this share had fallen to below 11 percent. This situation in brief, grows worse,not better.

Most of the underdeveloped lies in the southern and eastern parts of globe, but it has not always been thus; for centuries Europe looked to the east for riches,and the [misery] and poverty now [epidemic] in Africa were not known 200 years ago. The reasons for this tragic [transition] are various, chief among them the population problem, the food crisis, and the [aftermath] of [colonialism].
