Grammar Help!?
Can anyone help me punctuate this rather long bit of writing... Then he was shouted at and kept in next play to do it, I didn't think it was fair so I taught him my trick, you didn't have to read the passage at all, just stare hard at the words in the question, made your eyes go all blurred and then that word stood out in the passage. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Lists?
If you have a list of items, and the last word or phrase in the list completes a sentence, do you add a puntuation after the last word. For example: A few examples of what we have paid for include: • books • software • lab equipment • pool rental and much, much more. Period or no period after "more"?

3 movie questions? Help please?
Could one say: 1 How many years does the movie take place over? 2 How months does one season of this show take place over? You know sometimes in movies you get FLASHBACK, whats the opposite of that, when you see into the future. "we saw ___ of the main character years into the future." 4 Tv shows are better than movies in her opinion as you don't have to wait for the action you're always in the midst of the action as you go from one episode to another whereas a movie, you have to wait for it to start and sometimes you have to wait forever for it to get anywhere. (is there anything wrong with this?)

Simple Past and Present Perfect tense...
1."I saw that movie" 2."I have seen that movie 2 days ago" Hi, I was wondering if it would still be gramatically correct if you leave out the specific time expression from the simple past phrase and include it in the present perfect one. Thank you
