Hi,
"I accidentally pressed the wrong button on my radio and I threw the presets off.”
"I accidentally pressed the wrong button on my radio and I disrupted the presets."
"I accidentally pressed the wrong button on my radio and the presets got thrown into disarray."
“I accidentally pressed the wrong button on my radio and I jumbled up the presets.”
What I'm trying to say is that my radio is set to five particular stations, but once I pressed the button, I lost some of them (All I got was static.) and the ones that were left were in the wrong order (My radio has numbers from 1 to 5 which refer to the stations.).
Could you tell me which of these sentences are correct and which not? Perhaps you can think of more alternatives.
Thank you so much.
