    Default with + noun +

    Could any teacher tell me if the following sentenses are correct,
    especially for the underlined part.
    (1) He came into the building with his car parked on the street.
    (2) She fell asleep with her clothes on.
    Tks

    Hello Yoshi

    #1 would probably puzzle most listeners; you would say "...after parking his car..."

    #2 is unhealthy but grammatically correct.

    Have a good Sunday,
    MrP

    How about the following sentenses. gramatically correct?
    #3 He was already waiting outside her house with his car parked.
    #4 In fact, the defendant was occasionally permitted to spend the night at the house with his car parked outside.

    4 is fine to me, and 3 is OK, but I'm not sure whether you mean he was in the car or standing waiting.

    Thank you for your comments.
    I'm not sure about this meaning , either.It was since I read this sentence
    in the internet. But I understood that it has no mistake gramatically at
    least.
