0 Vincent, perhaps it would be helpful to us all if you were more exact in your questions. You can write something like this. 02 br

01 i 00 I think: 02 i 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 John and his donkey are walking to the market 02 i 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 is grammatically okay. But it sounds weird. It sounds like they are frien

00 So , you mean the answer (a) and (b) is correct if they are in story. 02 br
02 br
00 But, If they are in the real situation, we can't say in this way, right? 0-

0 You can still say it that way. I would say the idea that they are walking together as friends is more of a 01 i 00 flavor 02 i 00 than a strict 01 i 00 meaning. 02 i 00 Many people would read it and not get that same sense. 0-

00 If this help you at all, 00 human always walk an animal. i.e. John always walks his dog to the park after dinner. 02 br

00 “John is walking with a donkey to the market” 00 00 just sounds odd to me 00 . 00 If the donkey wasn’t carrying farm produce, shouldn’t John be riiding
