DJT is a language learning thread for those studying the Japanese language.
Japanese speakers learning English are welcome, too.
Read the guide linked below before asking how to learn Japanese:

Would you like to say "I hurt my hand while shovelling snow" in Japanese?
If so, I'd say:
>雪かきをしていたら手を怪我した
>雪かきをしていたら手に怪我をした
>雪かきしている時に手を怪我した
>雪かきしている時に手に怪我をした
>雪かきの最中に手を怪我した
etc.
Sorry if my corrections are unwanted or unnecessary.

>Try to say something -> get correct sentence if its not good.
>That's learning language, isn't it.
Yeah, you're right.
I have a bad habit of adding "sorry if blah blah blah" at the end when correcting Japanese learners in order to avoid making them mad or offended.

>I'm shoveling Vs. While I was shoveling?
Exactly.
XしていたらYした expresses that an event (=Y) happened while (you were) doing X.
As a side note, when you attach a verb to the ら form, you always need to change it to the past tense no matter whether an event happened in the past or not.
>公園を散歩していたら、友人と会った。
>I ran into my friend while (I was) walking in the park.
>遅くまで起きていたら、母さんが怒る。
>My mom gets mad if I stay up.
When it comes to Xしている時にYした vs Xしていた時にYした, either is fine and there's no difference in meaning between the two.
>公園を散歩している時に、友人と会った = 公園を散歩していた時に、友人と会った
