I'm a non-English speaker. I'm confused by adverbial clause. I wonder if the following sentences are correct in formal English writings.
1. While Tom was reading novels, Jim was reading comics because novels were difficult.
2. Although English is hard, I still like it because it is being used worldwidely.
I think these sentences are not idiomatic. I can use compund-complex sentences to rewrite sentence 1, as "Tom was reading novels, but Jim was reading comics because novels were difficult." But are sentence 1 and 2 correct? Do westerners use that kind of sentence structures? Thanks.
