Transpired scenes or what?
Hi. Please help. Let us pretend there was a proficient speaker of English. He held a party and in it, he recognized some people who were not so proficient in English. To make it more interesting, he decided to show them a short funny cartoon and ask some questions between scenes and then after it had ended. Then his friend who is also proficient in English came in and asked what he was doing. Can he say either of these?
I am stopping the cartoon at certain intervals and ask questions on transpired scenes/on scenes transpired.
He also happened to draw up some question on the paper and his friend saw it and asked what that was. Could he name the sheet like the following and tell him any of these?
This is between-the-scene (should it be "between-the-scenes"?) comprehension questions
This is transpired-scenes comprehension questions.
This is comprehension questions based on (or just "on"?) scenes transpired.
Thank you for your anticipated help.
