I've been assured my grammar is off (which is not unusual) but I do not understand why.
‘You have three minutes to get dressed and present yourself in the family room or else...’ [his father is speaking]
As I pulled on my jeans, I imagined him stood in the hallway, checking his watch and stamping his foot.
I have been told it should be:
‘You have three minutes to get dressed and present yourself in the family room or else...’
As I pulled on my jeans, I imagined him standing in the hallway, checking his watch and stamping his foot.
Or
‘You have three minutes to get dressed and present yourself in the family room or else...’
As I pulled on my jeans, I imagined he stood in the hallway, checking his watch and stamping his foot.
Or could I use this instead:
As I pulled on my jeans I imagined him stood in the hallway, checking his watch and stamping his foot.
Is the comma the issue?
