I have some trouble with paraphrasing the following sentence:
We were delayed for an hour on the bus while the procession went past.
The begging of the paraphrased sentence must begin with The procession passed...
After analyzing the sentence I concluded that while serves here as a constrastive conjuction. So I completed the sentence with one of the contrastive adverbs:
The proccession passed, in contrast we were delayed for an hour on the bus.
I'm not certain about the comma and the whole sentence sounds kind of clanky but I can't seem to find a better alternative so I would really appreciate any help.
