Sentence structures: How flexible?
0 Hi everybody! 02 br
02 br
00 I have been wondering lately how flexibly I can speak English. 02 br
02 br
00 Can I separate "was" and "..ing" like I have done in the option 01 b 00 a 02 b 00 and 01 b 00 b 02 b 00 and still mean the same thing like in the option 01 b 00 c 02 b 00 (was watching)? 02 br
02 br
00 Which one is the recommended way to form sentences? Or all of them? 02 br
02 br
00 a) I was in the movies yesterday watching the newest Indiana Jones. 02 br
02 br
00 b) I was in the movies yesterday and watching the newest Indiana Jones. 02 br
02 br
00 c) I was watching the newest Indiana Jones in the movies yesterday. 02 br

10 a) I was 11 b 10 (at) 12 b 10 the movies yesterday for the newest Indiana Jones. 11 b 10 (sequel 12 b 10 ). 12 br
11 b 10 It'd be more natural to word it this way for the intended meaning: I went to the theater to see the newest Indiana Jones sequel. 12 br
