What does the word "as" describe in the following sentence?
As I was about to get out of bed, I heard a noise coming from the kitchen downstairs.
Does "as" imply simultaneous short actions?
Is "as" just background information?
Can "while" be used instead?
Answer
"While" will indicate an action in progress, but "as", as you use it here, is simply a marker of the time when you were getting up (just like @Mowzer said), hence it's the right word to use, in my opinion.
