	Old Man Gordon  +  963261 Fri, 06 Nov 09 09:46 AM All three of those sentences seem fine, correct, and clear.   1.  Is this person falling asleep while waiting in line to get in the store?   2.  court should be changed to field.  Basketball is played on a court, but football is played on a field.     Old Man Gordon Joined on Fri, Mar 16 2007 Full Member 409 Sentences
