My friend is continuing to watch the horror film even though he is very frightened.
NOT A TEACHER
(1) As the teachers tell us learners,
context (the situation) often decides whether a
sentence is the sentence that we should use.
(2) As the teacher has just told you, the grammar of your sentence is fine.
(3) But I was wondering about the context. I think that this sentence would be
appropriate (the right sentence) if it were said inside a movie theater. For example,
let's suppose that you and your friend are watching the movie this minute, and you are
talking on a cellphone to another friend. (Of course, you should not use a cellphone there!). You
might say those words to the person on the telephone.
(4) But let's say that you and your friend are not inside the theater now. Let's say that
you are talking with your mother. You might say something like:
My friend and I saw that horror film last night. He was really frightened. But he told
me that he wants to see it again. I think that he has already seen it 20 times. I do
not understand him.
He continues to see that film even though it frightens him
to death every time.
