Why do you run?​

A couple of people were sleeping well on their bed. At three o’clock, hearing a loud sound outside, the woman leapt out of the bed and shouted with a fearful sound “my husband comes home”. The man who lay next to the woman went quickly out of the bed without clothes. He climbed out of the window and fell down the area in front of the house. He ran through a bush and reached his car. A moment later, he went back his room and yelled at the woman “I am your husband, you are an adultery”. The woman yelled back at him “ why do you run for it, you are an adultery too”.

See above.

Note that the dialogue, although grammatically correct with my changes, isn't very natural. It would be more likely to go something like this:

Man: I am your husband! You're clearly cheating on me!
Woman: So why did you run? Clearly, you're cheating on me too!

(There would probably be some swearing in there too!)

Why did you run?

​

A man and a woman were fast asleep in bed. At three am, hearing a loud sound outside, the woman leapt out of bed scared and shouted “My husband’s home”. The man jumped out of bed naked. He jumped out of the window into the area in front of the house. He ran through a bush to his car. A moment later, he went back to the bedroom and yelled at the woman “I am your husband! You are clearly cheating on me”. The woman yelled back at him “Why did you run? Clearly, you are cheating on me too!”

I think you'll find that it's actually just a copy of my rewrite in post #2!

Did you notice that I wrote "3am" not "three am"?

 

[chunchuntthn]

I think 3am and three am is the same, right?

 

[emsr2d2]

They mean the same thing but only one of them is the way we generally write a time. Which one do you think it is?

I don't know bro, I used the google search and I got it that "at 3 am" is the best.

Are you going to tell us whether these are your own jokes, or whether you are translating them from some source? It's unlikely to be a copyright issue, but an attribution is the right thing to do, and we like to see sources (they often help in answering the question).
