Asked by Mary
When should someone use awhile and a while? I know one is a noun. Would you please give me an example of each. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

The adverb is <i>awhile</i>. Example:
Please stay <u>awhile</u> and have a cup of coffee.
The noun form is <i>while</i>. Example:
I'll stay for <u>a while</u>, and I'd love a cup of coffee.
Note that in the last usage, while is the object of the preposition "for."
